C'est Moi

Christine has been dancing since she turned 15. First starting with Ballroom and Latin, Jazz, Salsa, Tap, Rock 'n' Roll and Ceroc, she started Boogie Woogie and LindyHop in 1995 and has fallen in love with all forms of Swing dancing. Besides various Performances with different Show groups her first tournament successes were 3rd place in the 1997 UK Jive Championships partnering Simon Selmon. Some of the highlights of her competing carrier were 7th and 6th place in the World LindyHop Championships 1999 in New York and 2000 in Munich, plus German Champion in 2000. However, most importantly teaching together with old star Frankie Manning from movies like Hell's a-poppin :-)

After her competing career, Christine has become official judge for international swing tournaments and the World LindyHop Championships which she has judged from 2001 till today in Sweden, France, the US, etc. Drawing upon her many years of dancing and competing, Christine has now been regularly teaching Swing, LindyHop, Charleston, Shag and Balboa in Munich and many international Camps and Workshops.

Above all, she is passionate about social dancing and having a great night and thus is publishing one of the most informative newsletters for Swing Events in Germany plus organising Swing Events such as the World LindyHop Championships in 2000 as well as the yearly Munich LindyExchanges since 2003 - the dance world hosted by friends.
