Corinne Francis
SENIOR Instructor
From Highland Moor to the Young at Arts floor, one could say Corinne's passion for dance is in her blood and with a family tree that boasts champion calibre Highland dancers, a career in dance was perhaps inevitable. An accomplished Highland dancer in her own right, Corinne’s dance journey began at the age of three when she was enrolled in tap. More than twenty years later, the tapping hasn’t stopped and neither has her passion for sharing the world of dance, theatre, and art with people of all ages.
Corinne has performed and trained in many countries around the world including England, France, Austria, Holland, and the United States.
With training in Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Theatre and Highland dance, Corinne is a very well-rounded dancer. She has also been a member of the Scottish Dance Teachers’ Alliance and Scotdance Canada. Throughout the years, Corinne has taught preschool ballet, creative movement classes, Musical Theatre, acting classes, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, and Highland dance to students of all ages.
With a passion for child psychology, dance, and Early Childhood Education vying for her attention it would seem that becoming a dance instructor was the perfect path for Corinne, as it allowed her to combine all three avenues in one fulfilling career. Even with many competitive high scores and choreography awards to her credit, she will always find the joy on the faces of her youngest students to be the best measure of success.
