ABOUT ME
CHRISTIANA MARIE CECERE
DANCER * ARTIST * CREATOR
​
Hello and thank you for visiting my website!
I was born and raised in Boston, MA, where I fondly call home. I 'm currently an artist with The Florida Ballet after training and performing in Europe. I love learning, sharing experiences with new friends, and immersing myself in the inspiring art and culture around me. I would be happy to connect and share my love of dance with you.
Sincerely,
Christiana
