Xtina Suzanne Hamilton has been teaching professionally for 20+ years in Richmond and up and down the East Coast. She has dedicated her entire career to facilitating the creative growth of all ages of dancers and is extremely proud of her many former students that have chosen to become Professional Dance Educators as well.

While Christina was the head of her own dance company, XF Company of Dance, she received much acclaim including a MUSE Award nomination from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, was listed as one of the top 25 most influential people in the Arts scene in Richmond, and one of the ‘101 Things that make Richmond cool” by RVA magazine. All of this is attributed to the fact that she believes Dance should be accessible to all people and more importantly that ANYONE can become a brilliant dancer.

As a Choreographer Christina has worked with thousands of dancers, and is always invigorated to work with new artists and create unique pieces incorporating the strengths and aspirations of each person into their work. The art form of Dance is ever evolving, and throughout the years she has guided countless dancers to Regional and National Competitive Titles. She has also been awarded numerous Choreography and Special Judges Awards. But she says nothing compares to sharing this insanely cathartic form of expression with other human beings.
