Wandering away from the crowd during a dance function proved to be one of the greatest choices I ever made. It provided the chance meeting with one of the most radiant, motivated and joyous individuals I’ve ever come into contact with.

Throughout my now thirteen-year friendship with Christine she has been there to offer me advice, guidance, good times and support as a friend and mentor.  Christine offers advice that will push you out of your comfort zone in a non-threatening manner.

Christine is deeply passionate about spreading positivity and euphoria. I’ve seen her work her magic on her friends and dance students. I think it’s wonderful to see her now branch out and bring her creativity to the masses.

I would have no hesitation in recommending her seminars to anyone willing to change there perspective and embrace a more positive outlook on life.  Her infectious energy is something that consistently makes me smile and that I’m always more than happy to bathe in.

The ABTY blog has really helped me with this whole move actually- just very reaffirming in a scary move. It is just so relevant and inspirational to so many people. I have basically closed up my whole life as I knew it and moved across the other side of the world. I just felt that real desire for change if that makes sense.

Life takes you on a journey of self-discovery and at times the road isn’t always smooth. When you encounter moments that are hard to over come, it’s wonderful to have a mentor like Christine Denny.

I have never met another like the unique sunny Christine. She was able to instill a confidence within me that I never thought I had. Her patient and natural approach is inspiring, yet she remains humble.

Christine’s core strengths lie in her ability to engage, influence and turn a frown upside down. She has superb communication skills, exudes enthusiasm and is harmonious in everything she does. Christine is able to encourage others to do their best and always does so with a warm heart. Her creativity, charismatic persona and positive outlook on life is infectious. For all Christine has done and continues to do, I will be forever grateful for her influence on my life.

Life throws each and every one of us some curly challenges sometimes and I’m no different.
What a gift it was to meet Christine Denny .

I was going through some challenges to do with self-belief and knocking down those belief systems we seem to gather along the way from our peers, family members and friends.

I was blown away with how Christine helped me to uncover the way to overcome these, now in-grown beliefs about myself,  and help me discover  and develop ways to  grow from the past and embrace the future.

Christine is truly inspirational and authentic in her approach to helping others discover, love and be themselves.  I’m truly grateful and would encourage others to trust her truly inspirational guidance.

As most of us know, it's easy to become overwhelmed with the constant barrage of expectations, doubts and criticisms that the world seems to hurl our way. Staying true to yourself and striving for your own version of happiness can be a very difficult task.

Over the years I’ve known Christine Denny, I have found her to be a constant source of support and inspiration. When difficult questions have arisen in the past, she has helped to discover the often very simple answers staring me in the face, and I feel that I now lead a happier life as a result.

I believe Christine to be a rarity in this world, and believe that she can help others discover their happiness and their potential.

What can I say… This woman has such a thirst for life and its contagious.  She was the one who didn’t just encourage me on this new path of mine but challenged me to not be afraid.  And Christine is living proof of such things.

She is honest, forthright and truly listens to you when you talk to her.  Which is a rare gift these days.

You can see an engagement in her eyes when you are talking and true empathy.

‘Unbelievably good things can happen, even late in the game.’  She taught me that.

I have seen first hand over a long period of time Christine's dedication to empowering women to be the best they can be, in whatever form that takes.  It's impressive to watch.

What I love about our interactions is that it's always thought provoking and I find myself challenging some long held beliefs I didn't even know I had!  She just makes me want to be a better person.  When I think of Christine the word genuine comes to mind and that's not easy to find these days.

Christine is a good listener and tries to find solutions and help wherever she can. She has overcome obstacles and become very successful, and in this way is an inspiration to others. She gave me courage to believe in myself and in what I could do. She made me think differently about future possibilities.

I wish her all the best in her future endeavours as she has given me courage to do the same.

I have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and in an attempt to lighten the load I have attended “Dancing with Parkinson’s” classes. This provided me with the opportunity in February 2014 to meet and experience the tutelage of the delightful Christine Denny; the highlight of my week.

Not only do I recognise a resultant improvement in my physical function, I experience a joy and happiness that Christine has brought to my life and to the life of others in the class that has allowed me to take a more positive approach into the future.

Her vitality, enthusiasm, sense of humour, talent, and the love and knowledge of music and dance is inspiring. When challenges present themselves, she has the ability to professionally overcome these problems with seamless understanding and humour.

I have met many wonderful and inspirational people in my business career and personal life though none to compare with Christine.

'Christine has been one of the greatest influences in my life and I will forever be grateful to her. I remember walking into my first tap class with Christine many years ago and feeling so inspired. Her positivity, creativity and love for the art form are infectious! Over the years Christine has continued to inspire me with her work and ongoing passion for the arts. She has become a dear friend and an incredible mentor and I could not speak any more highly of her ability to motivate and inspire. Christine is truly an amazing woman with a warm and kind heart who has definitely made me believe in myself and realise my potential. I encourage anyone seeking a more positive outlook on life or may be in need of self discovery to attend Christine’s seminars.’

I originally thought describing Christine would be a difficult task, but, when it comes down to it, I have certainly captured this as:  passionate, determined and inquisitive.

Christine can be thrust into the midst of any group of people and easily find herself engaging them in conversation. Her questions aren't trivial, but are based on wanting to find out what makes people tick.

Christine is an inspiring teacher, a successful businesswoman, and an independent thinker.  She has many experiences to share and is an amazing orator.

I am so proud that Christine has embarked on this next journey.

I have had the pleasure of working with Christine Denny over several decades as a dancer, performer, choreographer and business woman. She has always been such a positive and can do person.

The results she gets from her wonderful approach with people should be commended and applauded. She's a professional , a trouble shooter and always manages to get the best out of everyone she deals with.

She brings love and joy to all.

Carla.BW

I’ve known Christine Denny for 20 odd years. I first met her in the early 90’s during my teens when I was in the seniors advanced tap class at Brent Street School of Performing arts. She was the most amazing tap teacher I had ever had, and I had plenty before her. Dein Perry, Chris Horsey and Drew Anthony to name a few. I was a pretty good tapper, but Christine brought more of my hidden talent out and made me into an amazing tapper.

I continued on with Christine for many years into my Full Time Performing Arts year in 1995. Once I completed my Full Time course, I went on to work with Christine in the show ‘The Shufflin Stonkies’. It was an amazing experience. Christine was a pleasure to work with and I would really love the opportunity to work with her again someday soon.

Christine Denny is an amazing director, choreographer, artist and performer. She is always professional and gives absolutely everything to each and every show, project or performance that she is working on. I would recommend working with Christine in a heartbeat.

Christine Denny has been my mentor as part of the Tapatak Oz syllabus since 2012 and I have always received professional and caring advice from her. Aside from her pure joy and enthusiasm of the dance world and her ability to pass that onto her clients, I also see Christine in a different light. She comes to my studio once a year for examinations and workshops and by the time she leaves, I am a new person.

Full of inspiration and motivation to not only incorporate in my business, but also my personal life. I honestly feel fresh and my batteries recharged for the next challenge. Her positivity but also ability to be 'real' resonates with me and I don't feel like I've been 'schmoozed'. She is genuine, nurturing and has a passion for life that needs to be shared to all.

Meeting Christine has been an amazing experience. In a healing session, I had the privilege to witness Christine getting in contact with her ancient soul. We were guided by our Spirit Guides, towards an understanding that both of us at some time, in some place of history, shared in the healing power of Nature before. In meditation, we sang ancient songs of Mother Nature and shared moments of pure serenity.

Christine has the capacity to open up her heart and become a wonderful channel for these ancient healing energies, in connection with great Spirit and All That Is...  I feel that through her guidance a door can open in our mind and heart, opening up towards a deep understanding of who we really ARE. Christine’s nature is true happiness and real joy, Love for Life. She carries in her presence a sense of service for the benefit of all, making those who contact with her, feel loved and blessed!

Thank you for being who you are, Christine, for your natural curiosity and loving kindness have made me look upon myself differently as well, with renewed courage to continue on life’s journey.

I have known the wonderful Christine Denny for nearly 30 years.  We started our friendship as teenagers in a local amateur production of ‘Annie’ for the Mackay Musical Comedy Players in Central Queensland, Australia.  Meeting again some years later in Sydney we soon rekindled our friendship and I can truly say she is one of my closet friends.

We now live in different parts of the world however Christine and I spend regular time together both in London and Sydney.   She is one of the most positive people I know, always happy, always ready to listen with an open mind and an open heart and is continually searching for life’s wonderful moments.  I would wholeheartedly recommend her for anything in life whether professional or personal.  I wish her all the luck and success that she deserves.

We have known Christine Denny for five years. Early into our journey together we discovered her positive outlook on life and her ability to nurture and build up the young children she was adjudicating. Christine is an inspiration with the way she lives her life.

Our local community feels very fortunate to have Christine as a role model to all our young dancers.   Each year she continues to bring such positivity to our dance workshop.  I am sure every dancer that has participated in her workshop feels blessed to have crossed her path.

My wife and I signed up for the difficult trek in Peru to Macchu Pichu not knowing who else would be in the group.  Christine was in our group of six trekkers and what a joy she was.  Always smiling, always upbeat, always with an encouraging word, she was an inspiration to all of us.

Since that memorable time together Christine has maintained contact with us and we with her.  She has been to our home in Vermont, USA for a Peru group reunion.  After my wife died last year Christine sent the most thoughtful remembrance of our time together.

I treasure our friendship and I know that, in spite of the enormous distance between us, she will always be a thoughtful friend in times of challenge.

I can say that from a personal perspective, Christine has been there for me during some of my most important times in my life to help guide me, not just because she’s a friend but because she has a good heart and cares and when she is invested in a person’s interest, she will move mountains to help you.  I would say that Christine is to me, like family.  She will tell you the hard things you may not want to hear, but you need to hear them and she is there to soften the blows in life.

I’ve seen Christine grow over the years.  I’ve witnessed how she motivates those that she is involved with and how her tenacity and determination led her to produce a great quality and fun tap dancing tuition based set of DVD’s.  This in itself is a testimony to her ability to see what is missing and to fill that gap and I believe that she does this in not only her own life but for other people too.

I couldn’t recommend a more thoughtful and insightful person to welcome into your life when you are needing some guidance or a person to tell you “how it is” and to give you steps on what you could do to better your position.  I wish her all the luck in this new venture and I hope that you also embrace the wisdom that she can impart.
