My name is Cristina Powers and I have been here at Syracuse High since its opening in 2007.  Growing up I had the wonderful opportunity to foster a love for dance, yoga, and pilates.  During college I continued my training while dancing as a BYU Cougarette.  Later I went on to dance professionally before returning to teach in the public schools.  I have a passion for all things dance and love being able to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with my students.   It is important to me that all students have a safe and positive learning environment where they can explore the joys of movement.  I love nothing more than to empower my students with the necessary life skills to live their best life with both integrity and compassion for themselves and those around them.
