About the Director...
Christina Johnson has been singing and dancing since early childhood. She was homeschooled from 6th-12th grade and was a part of Joyful Sound! homeschool choir where she participated in countless concerts and ministry outreaches to the Houston area and throughout the state. She participated in other choirs, including the Houston Children's Chorus, and TMEA All-State choir.
Christina trained in classical ballet through the Senior level of Sonshine Christian Ballet. She also learned lyrical, jazz, hip hop, pas de deux, and modern dance styles. She was a member of the Gift of Dance Company, and main teacher/choreographer for the Jr. Company, as well as Shining Light, a dance group she started at age 17.
In college, she studied vocal performance at Hardin-Simmons University for 2 years and even danced in several university theater and choir performances. She also partnered with a local dance studio, starting a dance class for college students. In the summer of 2001, she was a cast member in the professional show TEXAS the Musical Drama, in Palo Duro Canyon, in the chorus, dance core, and understudy to a solo character.
After marrying the man of her dreams, Christina transferred to and graduated from Texas Tech University as a certified EC-4 teacher.
In recent years Christina has been raising and homeschooling her 5 precious children. She has also sung in worship at church regularly, and taught private voice and dance from her home and through a local Co-op. For three years she choreographed and assisted in the vocal instruction for Limelight Productions in Rockwall.
Now, she is working for the benefit of all the students of SonShine Academy, and seeking to provide wonderful learning opportunities for them. Christina is excited to share with the next generation of Christ followers her passion for glorifying God through the arts. She desires for this academy to provide a spring board for students to refine their skills, be drawn to the Lord, make lifelong friendships, and have the chance to pursue gospel outreach through the arts for the glory of God!
