Corina Fitch Back to all Bios previous | next

 Corina began her dance training at the age of five and grew up studying ballet, modern, tap and jazz.  As a teen she was a member of the Ft. Lauderdale Ballet Classique.  It wasn’t until she went to college at UC Berkeley that she began to explore various forms of ethnic dance, Afro-Haitian being the first.  She fell in love with this and other forms, including Afro-Cuban and West African dance.  She danced with the C.K. Ladzepko West African Dance Ensemble in Oakland and Berkeley and also studied and performed West African percussion.  Upon moving back to Miami, Corina finally embarked on her journey into Middle Eastern Dance, which she had been attracted to for a while.  Being of Israeli/Syrian descent, this would be the first ethnic dance form from her own background.  In Miami Corina has studied and performed with Iroko Afro-Cuban Dance Theatre, Ayizan Kreole, Harmonic Motion, Venus Rising, Roots and Culture, and The Takada Womens’s Ensemble, which she founded.  Corina has also choreographed solo and group pieces in various genres and fusions.
