Kristen Hoagland
Star Maker is thrilled to again welcome Kristen Hoagland on staff for her third year teaching our talented students.
Kristen is a professional dancer, assistant to Emmy winner and Tony nominee, choreographer, AC Ciulla of NYC. She worked closely with AC on recent projects in NYC including the New York City Dance Alliance National Event and The Dance Awards and performed with his company at the Bright Lights/Shining Stars Foundation charity event this past summer.
Kristen's stage work includes Desmond Richardson's Complexions Company Summer Performances, Wachovia Bank Arena, Sovereign Bank Arena and Symphony Space, NYC to name a few. Kristen also worked as assistant to Christina Dooling at NYCDA National Convention Event this past summer.
As well as being a successful competitive dance solo and group choreographer, Kristen has experience performing and choreographing for Live Events, TV and Commercials. She has worked with Ivan Koumaev of 'So You Think You Can Dance' fame and David Gamboa, choreographer for the 'Knicks City Dancers,' Madison Square Garden, NYC.
Kristen can boast choreography for numerous title winners in both group and solo performance; these in the genres of Musical Theatre Jazz, Fusion Jazz, Contemporary, Lyrical and Hip Hop. Kristen also prides herself on her ballet technique classes, pushing dancers 'further than they ever imagined they could go.'
A prior Dance Masters of America's Miss Dance Chapter 25 and title winner year after year at regional and national level competitive dance contests, Kristen now is in pursuit of a professional choreography and performance career in NYC and or around the globe.
When Miss Kristen is not working, she can be found listening to all kinds of music and hanging out at the beach with her siblings and cousins.
Kristen hails from Hamilton Township, NJ and will always remember her mentors, Miss Kim, Miss Sandi and Miss Isobel at the Stewart Johnson Academy of Dance; 'you gave me wings, so I could fly…this is just the beginning.'
To her own students Miss Kristen says, "work hard in every class, love dance and have the confidence to be proud of all your accomplishments and show everyone what you can do!"
