How to Dance Cha Cha

Christina Haggerty was born and raised in Seattle. She started her formal dance training in college where she took her first classes in jazz, ballet, and Ethnic Dance including Afro-Cuban, Puerto Rican Folk Dance, and Belly dance. Her natural knack for hip hop led her to spend four years with local dance group, “In Effect,” before her love for salsa brought her to Los Angeles in the year 2000. Her hard work and dedication has paid off with performances in television, films, festivals, and professional competitions. Most recently, you can see her featured in the new CBS series “CANE.” She danced 4 years with world renowned “Salsabor Y Cache” where she got her first international teaching experience, 5 years with “Salsa In The Mix” where she came to choreograph and co-direct, and 5 years with “Sunflower dancers” where she embraced more diverse dance styles such as Persian, Israeli, and Brazilian Samba. Currently, she continues choreographing with Myriam as “DASHEE”, with dance partner Mike Ticas, and all female salsa styles.
