About Me Hello and Welcome! Thanks for visiting my website. My name is Jann Christiansen and I am a bead artist, designer and instructor. I live in Dayton, Ohio with my husband and our ‘kids’ (three dogs and three cats). Why 'Dancing Sea Designs'? The inspiration for the name ‘Dancing Sea Designs’ comes from one of my favorite memories while growing up on the beautiful Mendocino Coast of Northern California. On those days when it was sunny and warm, there was nothing I loved better than sitting on the beach with my toes tucked into the sand, the sounds and smell of the ocean around me, and the sunlight dancing on the water. I get that same feeling of peace and relaxation when I’m beading. The journey is the reward… Chinese Proverb
