Debbie Corpening Lead Dance Instructor debbie@danceonpointe.com
After serious thoughts in May, 2007, of "hanging up" the old dance shoes, Debbie has decided it is too soon to retire from something she loves to do. Debbie has danced since age 3 and taught at several studios in the Tri-City area since high school. She has recently added judging to her resume. Debbie has judged numerous regional and national dance competitions all over the U.S.
Her love of dance is what keeps her going and she is excited to help Jennifer in her new studio. Debbie says, "I love children and how receptive they are to open their minds to learn and their hearts to explore what they feel. I love to stress technique but really want to see them use class work to build confidence that can be used in all aspects of their lives. Dance needs to be disciplined yet fun. I want to always incorporate both into every class. I want smiles coming in and even bigger smiles going out!!"
Debbie is a native of Johnson City. She has been married to her high school sweetheart, Richard, for 30 years. They have two children, Lindsay and Brandon. Lindsay is a professional dancer/actress in LA and Brandon is a student at UT hoping to enter Pharmacy School next fall.
"I look forward to this year and to working with your children. Every one of them feels like my own!" |
