Chris
Drum began dancing as a child at a local dance studio that was a block
away from her home. In her teens, Chris taught ballet, tap, & jazz at
the same studio. While in college, Arthur Murray introduced her to
teaching ballroom & latin dancing. For Chris, it was a wonderful
opportunity to be able to work full time teaching partner dancing.
Twenty-two years later, Chris is still teaching ballroom, latin, swing &
country dancing.
Chris
moved to Los Angeles 5 years into her teaching career and taught at the
Beverly Hills Arthur Murray. This truly was dancing with the stars.
She had many celebrity students that were learning for movie roles.
Chris also competed in Professional American Smooth & Pro Am Scholarship
American Smooth & Rhythm. She had great success both with her
professional partner & students. Los Angeles was also a great
opportunity for her to train in West Coast Swing & Texas 2 Step.
Upon
returning to Pittsburgh, Chris became an independent contractor &
competed professionally in American Rhythm & with several amateur
partners.
Chris now
teaches in the Greensburg area & coaches at several area studios. She
also offers a line of dance instructional DVD’s and is a vendor for Very
Fine Dance Shoes. She holds a monthly dance in Mt. Pleasant and holds
several dances a year at the McKeesport Palisades.
