WITH ZORNITZA
Finally, Zornitza was introduced. September 8 of 2021 was the day he had his first practice, where he instantly fell in love. When Christian is off the dance floor, he has many activities he enjoys. Though he may not be able to hammer a nail into a wall, he sure is able to portray himself in creative ways through the fine arts. He loves to play music, sports and be a part of his community. Christian plays the piano, guitar, violin, flute, saxophone, the Serbian gusle, the tamboura, and his newest addition, the Bulgarian Gajda. He has been playing most of these instruments for 5+ years and continues to take lessons. Christian also loves to be very sporty. He plays soccer, tennis, badminton, and his favorite, gymnastics. He has been doing all the sports for 7+ years!
