Ma. Christine Dominique Morden
Maria Christine Dominique Morden started dancing at Balletcenter at the age of six and quickly rose through the levels. In 2005, she was asked to join the Queen City Chamber Ballet, Balletcenter's former company, under Mdm. Fe Sala Villarica. In that same year, she received the Most Outstanding Achievement Award.

In 2012, she graduated from the teacher training program and began teaching and choreographing for Balletcenter's Summer Spectacular 2012: Broadway and Beyond. Additionally, Christine Morden has a Bachelor's Degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from the University of San Carlos.
