The classroom should be a safe place both physically and emotionally. Corinne is passionate about learning safe and efficient technique practices to help her dancers improve while avoiding injury. Corinne believes in establishing clear rules and expectations to create an environment of respect. Students are always encouraged to lift each other up and avoid competition or comparison.  

Dance is a powerful medium by which life lessons can be learned. Corinne believes that the most valuable lesson her students can learn from her is how to be brave. Embracing vulnerability is the only way to improve in life, and it is the instructor’s responsibility to provide these experiences for students. Corinne understands that everyone’s vulnerability will look different, and she acknowledges her students’ individual accomplishments. 

Corinne believes in making connections with each of her students. During each class, Corinne tries to say every student’s name at least once. It’s important to Corinne that her students feel noticed, appreciated, and challenged. In order to stay organized, Corinne keeps detailed notes about her students to remember their specific injuries and needs. By investing in the individual, students feel more trust for their teacher.
