Cristina is truly a gifted person. My training was absolutely wonderful! Cristina has the ability to know exactly what judges look for in a wide variety of pageants, as she is an accomplished pageant coach herself. All of her advice, if taken and followed, will make you a winner!

Cristina Guzman is an excellent coach. Her perfectionism, talent, wisdom, charm, wonderful personality and patience make her such a great teacher. She cares about what trainees need and puts them in a position to succeed. I have learned so much from her. She is the best coach of coaches!

Your first ballet class at CEG Performing Arts Academy

Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Ballet is for every age and every body. If you're returning from an injury or have a health concern, mention it to the teacher before class so they can offer modifications.
