Chris joined the dancing world at the young age of 6 in a small Waikato town. Over the years he became more involved becoming part of the local club’s committee, and later the Lower Hutt Club’s committee. In 2016 Chris was approached by the Kelburn Club and invited to become their tutor. He taught the club for 5 years before they closed the doors for the final time in 2022 following COVID. He started working toward his teaching certificate while at Kelburn Club and is now fully qualified in 2025.
Over the last few years, Chris took on a joint role as Lower Hutt Club tutor 2023-2025, as well as becoming the Juniors tutor and relieving at other clubs around the region. He has also organized Hogmanay and summer dancing over the last few years, and is now organizing Summer School for 2027-28.
