Tina Christina-Price, K-5
Thomas Jefferson Elementary School
Our students, grades K-5, love coming to Ms. P’s dance class. She has an inclusive classroom where students of all abilities enjoy dance making experiences. It’s amazing to watch groups of students laughing and smiling as they work on task solving activities. It’s a creative experience that has a remarkable impact on our students.
It’s obvious that Ms. P loves sharing her passion for dance with the students of Binghamton City School District’s Thomas Jefferson Elementary School!
After exploring many dance genres under the tutelage of a retired Vaudeville performer, Ms. Christina-Price found herself in the classical ballet world. She earned an apprenticeship with the Stuttgart Ballet and performed with the National Ballet of Iran, Teatro Municipal do Rio de Janeiro, Les Grands Ballet Canadiens, Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal and McGill Danse.
After returning to the States, she directed Roberson School of Ballet, Binghamton, NY, and founded Ballet Arts Theatre and Aspire Dance Company, Endicott, NY. In 1983 she attended McGill University and twenty five years later she received a BA in Dance from Empire State College. She has teacher certification in DanceAbility and loves to choreograph inclusive pieces for disabled and no-disabled dancers.
She recently graduated from the DEL Institute Teachers Certificate Program and is currently enrolled in the 2023 DEL Facilitators in Training program. Teaching the DEL model has enriched her pedagogy. For that, she is deeply grateful!
