Ms. Korynne

Nice to meet you! My name is Korynne Montoya. I am 24 years old and I am hailing from the vibrant state of Arizona. For the past 20 years, I've immersed myself in the world of dance, turning my passion into a journey of self-discovery and artistic expression.
My dance journey began at the early age of 3. Over the course of a decade, I proudly competed in numerous competitions and conventions across the West Coast. My dance style spans across contemporary, hip-hop, jazz, contortion, and ballet/pointe dance. Each style has been a canvas for me to creatively express a kaleidoscope of emotions, weaving stories with every movement. In the past three years, I've transitioned from being a performer to a dance instructor. Teaching has become my pride and joy. There is nothing more fulfilling than nurturing the next generation of dancers. |
My dance philosophy goes beyond the technicalities; it's about fostering a love for the art form, encouraging self-expression, and creating a space where creativity knows no bounds. My classes are not just about steps and routines but about unlocking the unique voice and potential within each dancer.
As I continue my dance journey, I invite you to join me at Tiny Toes Dance, where I aim to inspire and guide dancers of all ages. Together, let's embark on a captivating exploration of movement, emotion, and the endless possibilities that dance has to offer. I can't wait to share my passion with you and witness the magic that unfolds on the dance floor.

Testimonials
Ms. Ashley provides dance instruction in a fun and nurturing environment where dancers of all abilities can thrive. My daughter loves her dance classes with Ms Ashley and can’t wait to go every week. Also, the recital was masterfully organized from initial emails through to the performance itself which was not too long either and done in a fun way so that all the performers had a fantastic time. I thoroughly recommend Tiny Toes Dance.
