Christel Dance and Conditioning is run by Maggie Christel, who has been teaching dance for 19 years. 

Prior to and during her early teaching years, Maggie was a dancer for 24 years. Many of those years were spent competing, as well. She went on to attend two colleges, East Carolina University and The College of New Jersey, where she was part of both dance teams, as well as Synergy Dance Company at The College of New Jersey. Here is where she also graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Health and Exercise Science. After college, Maggie went on to train at Broadway Dance Center in New York City for several months. During her final year at college and for the years following, she also worked as a personal trainer -  working with many different sport-specific clients with a great age range. From 2015 - 2017, Maggie performed and choreographed for a semi-professional dance team for a football league, The Sussex Stags.

In early 2021, Maggie founded Christel Dance & Conditioning based on her combined loves for dance and sports training. She loves to focus on training and conditioning dancers using the knowledge of anatomy and sports science. Her love for teaching and dance continue to grow each year.
