Owner/Teacher/Choreographer
Christa Clement Sevin is a native of Chalmette, Louisiana. She began dancing at the age of two and competing at the age of six under the direction of Mrs. Heather Nuckley Giglio of Modern Conceptions of Dance. Being a competition dancer afforded her the opportunities to attend dance conventions with her dance school and on her own. Christa has received training in several genres of dance from some of the most respected teachers in the dance industry including Tyce Diorio, Mia Michaels, Travis Wall, Justin Giles and many more.
Throughout high school, Christa was a member of The Ponchatoula Wavettes and performed at multiple sporting events. She was recognized as an American Allstar by the Universal Dance Association (UDA). In November, 2012 as an UDA American Allstar Christa traveled to New York City and performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
In 2013, Christa was awarded a scholarship to attend The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA) in New York City. However, for several reasons she chose to attend Southeastern Louisiana University. Here she began her studies which focused on ballet, contemporary, dance musicality, dance anatomy, and improvisation. As a student at SELU Christa became a member of The Dance Performance Project (DPP) under the direction of Skip Costa. While a member of the DPP she had the opportunity to choreograph several routines for SELU. Her routines struck the hearts of audiences and was featured in articles in The Daily Star as well as the Lion’s Roar. During her college years, she attended the American College Dance Association (ACDA). Here she received training in multiple styles of dance by choreographers from all over the world such as Capoeira, Silks, and Dance of a Thousand Hands. In addition, Christa was a member of SELU’s Flipside, a Hip Hop performance group who performed at multiple events.
Christa graduated college in 2016 with a Bachelor’s Degree and in June, 2018 took the next step in her career and opened Distinct Dance Center. With the support of family and friends, Christa put her lifelong passion for dance to work by teaching the next generation of dancers. She hopes to inspire dancers of all ages in a positive environment the way she has been inspired through the art of dance.
