Tufts senior Christina Aguirre is a classically trained dancer who literally does it all: She pirouettes as the president of Sarabande, gets low as a choreographer and dancer for Spirit of Color and was even a former member of Static Noyze last year, the Boston-based dance company that was in the running for MTV's "America's Best Dance Crew." Although she'll never admit it herself, Aguirre is the closest thing Tufts has to a "So You Think You Can Dance" all-star.
Aguirre is currently working with former Boston Ballet and Boston Conservatory faculty member Dean Vollick to teach a class for advanced dancers at the Jackson Dance Studio and Lab on Fridays at 4 p.m. beginning this week. Hoping to share her love of dance with others, Aguirre is also teaching at the Boston Ballet Citydance "Chance to Dance," a 10-week program that lets children in the Boston public school system who wouldn't normally have the opportunity to dance take classes at the Boston Ballet once a week.
According to Aguirre, "I love dancing, but I think the reason why I chose Tufts rather than a dance school was that I wanted to do more with it. I wanted to help other people understand why dance is so amazing."
