Christiane Crawford

Originally from San Francisco’s Mission District, Christiane Crawford developed her style and technique by blending street and club moves with formal training, studied since age 5, and started teaching at age 14. With a grant from the California Arts Council, Christiane taught free dance classes at the Mission Cultural Center, and for seniors at local community centers. She directed and choreographed for her Hip Hop dance company RareForm and was a member of Culture Shock, a national Hip-Hop dance troupe and youth outreach program. Ms. Crawford’s connection to music runs deep and remains the inspiration for her choreography. Christiane has brought together 40+ years of dancing to her Old Skool Hip Hop Cardio dance class. Rich with moves from back in the day and nowadays featuring original choreography by Christiane, this class uses Hip Hop choreography partnered within a cardio format.
