Christine (Chris) Villeneuve-Jones grew up in Baltimore and began serious ballet training at the Ballet Academy of Baltimore under Marilyn Gaston. She then furthered her training at the Pennsylvania Ballet School under the direction of Lupe Serrano on scholarship.  She was awarded the Princess Grace Award while an apprentice with Pennsylvania Ballet (now the Philadelphia Ballet) and went on to dance as a corps de ballet member under the direction of Robert Weiss and Christopher d’Amboise.  She performed in many Balanchine ballets, ballets by Robert Weiss, Richard Tanner and Jacques d’Amboise, as well as well known classics such as  Paquita, Swan Lake, Giselle and La Sylphide for pbs.

After dancing professionally, Chris married and had 2 children. She also went on to become a licensed physical therapist assistant and ballet teacher. She taught extensively for over 20 years, incorporating her knowledge of anatomy and physiology in the ballet classroom as well as choreographing, assisting with and directing productions at local studios.  After the birth of her second child Chris returned to the stage as a free lance artist for 8 years guesting with pre-professional and regional ballet companies in the area and Maryland.
Chris recently returned to the health care field and is currently working  with Penn Medicine as an inpatient coder.  She and her husband Robert are expecting their first grandchild this summer!

Kat Sullivan was raised in Bucks County, Pennsylvania where her passion for dance began at a very young age. Starting out as a heavily competitive dancer and performer, Kat shifted her focus to more technical training by joining The Pennsylvania School of the Performing Arts as a full-time company member in 2008. Performing at the Philadelphia Fringe Fest and at ComeUnity in collaboration with Lustig Dance Theatre, she has studied dance under Kristin Scott Naylor, Richard Pierlon, Denise LaPoint, and others. Eventually Kat began Classical vocal training under the tutelage of soprano Maria Pappas, later to perform in a production of The Hunchback of Notre Dame as Esmerelda. Kat now choreographs and teaches at her former performance school, guiding young dancers on their own performance journeys.
