Christina Penatello and Ken Hansen have had the opportunity to work with many gifted champions from around the world...Louis Van Amstel (whom Christina has trained with since the age of 17), Shirley Ballas ( mother of Mark Ballas DWTS), Allen Tornsberg, Vibeke Toft, Toni Dovalani, Elena Grinenko, and, of course, her parents, Charles and Jean Penatello, three-time Undefeated Open to the World American Rhythm and Ballroom Champions. Her belief has always been "to become the best, you must train with the best!" It definitely paid off!! Christina and Ken are currently United States Rhythm Finalists and quickly rising to the top!

They also travel around the country coaching and choreograph for many professionals and students in the dance industry.

Since they have recently become partners in the Red Bank and Manasquan Fred Astaire Dance Studios, they have been passing along all of their many years of training to their extremely talented and dedicated staff.
