Kristina Lewis, born and raised in Stow, OH, has been dancing since the age of two. She grew up dancing competitively while training in a variety of dance styles, including Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Pointe, Hip Hop, and Contemporary. Following high school, she continued her dance training at Slippery Rock University in Pennsylvania. In 2021, she graduated Magna Cum Laude with her Bachelor of Fine Arts in dance, with concentrations in Performance & Choreography and Business Administration. Prior to joining CDP Company, Kristina danced professionally with Theatre West Virginia for three seasons and one year with West Virginia Dance Company. This is currently her third year with CDP Company and second year as a company dancer! Kristina is grateful for the amazing opportunities CDP Company has given her, especially the opportunity to be involved with the company’s mission and outreach. Her favorite experience with outreach over the last year was participating in a “Sock Hop” themed fundraiser where a small group of company dancers performed a short dance and then spent the rest of the evening hyping up the dance floor. She really enjoyed experiencing the joy it brought to the community at this event and how excited they were to join in on the fun. Along with her main passion for dance, Kristina has many other hobbies including traveling, hiking, rock climbing and golfing! Kristina also works as a server and bartender at The Crush House at Gervasi Vineyard and absolutely loves working in such a beautiful atmosphere. Kristina is beyond excited to continue dancing with CDP Company for her third year and she is eager to see what this year has in store!
