Cordelaine Klyne, from Marshall, Virginia, fell irrevocably in love with dance at three years old in her first movement class. She trained at Virginia Civic Ballet in ballet, jazz, lyrical, contemporary, and musical theatre for fifteen years, pointe for nine years, and tap for seven years, with five years of partnering experience. Cordelaine performed lead roles and choreographed for two full-length ballets, two jazz showcases, multiple competitions, and various dance festivals and volunteer events. She was voted by her peers to be captain of the competition team and senior ballet company. A student-teacher at VCB, who also started a dance studio in her home, Cordelaine developed curriculum, organized, and offered two annual in-house performances. She is certified through Grade VII of the Cecchetti Council of America Syllabus and participated in intensives with Richmond Ballet, Cecchetti Conference, Steps, and VCB. At UVA, she is involved with Rhapsody Ballet Ensemble as well as the Dance Department’s Fall and Spring Dance Concerts.
