Mr. Christopher Slatt

Business Manager

Chris danced for several years, sampling many disciplines including ballet, tap and jazz. That all ended in the mid-1980s when he finally convinced his parents that watching Saturday morning cartoons was more important than being around lots of icky girls - this is often how you think when you're six years old. A nugget of that dancing spirit must have remained, however, as after growing up, moving to Washington, and getting his Bachelor's degree in Computer Information Systems from American University he went on to marry his High School sweetheart, Miss Kendra and started putting his technological skills to work on automating the dance studio. If you enjoy perfectpointe.com, online registration, and streaming recital music, he's the man to thank.
