MEET CHRISTINA PATELIDAS
Christina Patelidas has been on more stages than most people have sat in audiences. Five years as a professional dancer on Norwegian and Crystal Cruise Lines. Five years as a showgirl in the Siegfried & Roy Las Vegas production. More than 4,800 performances
on stages across the world. She learned, night after night under the lights; that performance is never really about perfection — it's about the courage to show up and let yourself be seen.
She brought that truth home to Saint Simons Island, Georgia, when she opened Christina's Dance World in 1999. For many, many years, she has welcomed the students' other studios turn away, the girls who have been told they're not graceful enough, not talented
enough, not enough period — and she has built a place where every one of them finds their spotlight. Her studio is not just a dance school. It is a faith-centered, character-building community where devotions, etiquette, and identity in Christ are woven into
every class.
But her most defining moment did not happen on a stage. On October 10, 2010 — 10/10/10 — Christina survived a suicide attempt. That date, which could have been an ending, became a beginning. She founded the 10.10.10 Talent nonprofit, which funds scholarships
for students who can't afford tuition, making certain that no child is turned away because of a number on a check. The wound became the work.
Today, Christina serves three distinct audiences. For dance studio owners, she leads Show Director Academy — teaching them how to transform an ordinary recital into a 90-minute professional production show through The Production Show Method. For women in keynote
rooms and online, she delivers Monumental Mindset, a 30-day movement and faith program that turns overwhelm into peace, one intentional step at a time. For students and families, she shows up every single day at Christina's Dance World, directing, choreographing,
and refusing to let a single person leave her building believing they are not enough.
Her one-word answer to "what problem do I solve?" is REJECTION. And her life's work is the proof that rejection is never the last word — only a redirect to where you were always supposed to go.

“Brett asked me, jokingly, if I had fun today, and I said it was one of the best days of my life! Today was such a gift to share Amelia’s birthday with our friends that are family, and Christina Patelidas, not only my favorite dance teacher but someone I’ve always loved and respected. We had an amazing time at her studio and I couldn’t think of a more special place to have Amelia’s first real party! What a gift you are Christina to all of the children you guide through learning about faith, life, and dance! Some of you may recall that David also took dance with her ♥️ and it happens to be his birthday weekend… and most of you don’t know Christina hosted me at her dance studio when I was 21 for my (first and little) friends and family art show ♥️ so yes, a full circle, special first, real birthday party, with my little family was a dream come true! #princessesandpajamas”

“Ms. Christina, I just wanted to say Thank You! Thank you for pouring into your dance students. Thank you for your love, encouragement and for the example you set in teaching them not only the love of dance, but more importantly, the love of Jesus. More personal, thank you for all you mean to my daughter. I love that the studio is her favorite place to be, sometimes 5 days a week!
We love you!”

“I got to see the older dancers interact with the younger dancers backstage before the show. It’s one of my favorite parts of having my 4 year old at your studio. They are such positive, kind role models for our little ones. Each one stepped up to help when needed and knew every single younger dancer’s name. I also appreciated how kind the older dancers were to each other. They only served to bring each other up. When one was concerned about something, another came along to lift them up. They are really practicing the kindness and community you teach about, Christina!”

“This past year I have had the chance to see first hand the gift Christina Patelidas is to our youth through sharing her gift of teaching dance and theater.
I admire her so much for the work she does in pouring into the young men and women in her dance studio. She isn't just teaching our youth to dance she is teaching them how to love and respect each other and spread kindness.
Stiles joined her dance company this past year and it is a highlight of her week to be in the presence of Christina. She is a beautiful soul inside and out. She does so much for our community and we appreciate her so much!”

“We went on vacation with another family last week. Ansley went down with them a couple of days before the rest of us with the other family with the other little girls in the group. They said she got really homesick. Did she miss her parents? Nope! They said she just keep going on and on about Christina and missing a place called Christina’s Dance World while on vacation
