Join us at September Fun '23

Join 3 of Northeast's best.

Chris Jacques started in 2009 as a ballroom dancer, dancing socially and competitively. He trained for 6+ years with various professionals at studios across New England.

In 2015, while on a break from competition he discovered Line Dance. He began dedicating his time to social line dancing across all music genres and dance difficulties. 

In 2018, he started teaching Line Dance. Since starting he's taught in a variety of settings: bars, function halls, local community classes, country music classes, non-country classes, local workshops, one-day events, and weekend long destination events; most notably having taught at the 2019 Windy City Line Dance Mania and 2021 Fun In the Sun.

Also in 2018, he began competing in Line Dance choreography as part of the United States Line Dance Choreography Competition. This involved dancing at events along the east coast.

His competitive choreography accomplishments include placing first in division at the Fun In the Sun and Florida Line Dance Classic events, finishing 2nd overall in the 2019-2020 United States Line Dance Choreography Competition, and winning the 2019 Windy City Line Dance Mania, amateur choreography competition.

Chris continues his choreography and continues to locally teach private lessons, group classes, and one-day workshops. He will also be on staff for several weekend events, in several US states during 2022 and 2023.

His hopes include: continuing to develop as an instructor, choreographer and dancer, eventually teach in as many states, countries and continents as possible and most importantly help convey a joy and passion for line dance to the soon to be next generation of line dancers.

Bradley Mather

Bradley, coming from a family of dancers, has been surrounded by dance his entire life. Starting at the age of 9, Bradley began contemporary line dancing, a form of solo dancing that is rapidly evolving to incorporate aspects of ballet, jazz, hip-hop, and many more styles of dance. At the age of 14, Bradley began teaching contemporary line dance and travelling across the globe to learn from the top choreographers.

After moving from Florida to Boston, he vastly expanded his dance repertoire by learning salsa, bachata, merengue, west coast swing, and all 19 ballroom dances. While earning his B.A. in marine science from Boston University, he joined Soñando Salsa (the Boston University salsa performance team), joined the Boston University Ballroom Dance Team, and founded the Boston University West Coast Swing Club. Bradley’s greatest accomplishments in dance are becoming a national overall champion in The United States Line Dance Choreography Championships and later becoming the 2020 World Champion in the Male Classic Open Advanced category of the United Country Western Dance Council.
