Hello everyone! My name is Michael Campos, and I am thrilled to share a bit about myself with you. From a young age, I discovered my passion for dance, inspired by the incredible performances of legends like Michael Jackson and James Brown, as well as the energetic moves showcased in films like "Breakin." Watching these phenomenal dancers ignited a fire within me, and I've been dancing ever since I was five years old.

Throughout my journey, I’ve had the privilege of training in various dance genres, but my heart truly lies in contemporary and hip hop. I've performed at several local dance studios, including Strut Dance in Modesto, CSU Stanislaus, and the Modesto State Theatre. Each stage has provided me with unforgettable experiences and the opportunity to express myself through movement.

Beyond my passion for dance, I am deeply committed to giving back to my community. In the cities of Newman and Turlock, I’ve dedicated my time to helping young children, creating activities and programs that encourage positive growth and development. It brings me joy to see these children thrive and find their own passions.

On a personal note, I am happily engaged to my fiancé, and together we are raising two wonderful children. I take great pride in homeschooling them, nurturing their curiosity and creativity every step of the way.

Thank you for taking the time to get to know me! I look forward to connecting with you all and sharing more about my journey in dance and community service.

Christine Johnson was born and raised in Newman and started dancing when she was five years old. She started with tap, ballet and jazz. Christine loved dancing and would constantly wear the bottoms of her tap shoes out from practicing in her parents driveway. Once she got to high school, she made the cheer team and found another form of dance she loved. She continued to dance and cheer through high school and loved the friendships it brought. She was also on the cheer and dance team at the junior college she attended, for two years. Since then, Christine has been a preschool teacher and introduced her daughter to dance. She has loved it, and it brought her back to dance as well. Her daughter has been on the competition team Vibe for over three years now & Christine has continued training and enrolled in adult dance classes at Powers Productions.
