Kristina is a founding member of Paris-based company SWATT whose primary goal is to create collaborations with artists all over the world.

Back in New York after an international tour, Kristina has resumed her faculty position at Marymount Manhattan College and as principal dancer with The Erick Hawkins Dance Company. Class Description: The Horton Technique will take the dancer through a series of exercises utilizing each part of the body. From fingertip articulation to elongation of the entire body in space on a lateral plane, The Horton discipline is attentive to minute detail as well as length and freedom of space-craving movements. Rhythmic challenges, expression, a meditative sense of focus and control, sparkling clarity and precision, winding curves, AND the sheer joy of dance itself are the elements that Kristina Berger brings to her classes!
