I have been looking and looking for just the right instructor to take my passion for dance to a whole new level. I have finally found it here with Corrinne, who is the best owner/dancer/instructor I have ever met. She makes it so fun and comfortable with her genuine passion for dance and love for teaching others. I highly recommend this place if you want to feel welcomed, safe and ready to dance!

Corrine is an amazing dance instructor! Our daughter has been in her Twinkler program for 2 years and we couldn’t be happier! Corrine’s extensive dance knowledge, expertise, fun and patience help all of her students both emotionally & physically! She teaches all genres to all ages & everyone simply loves her!!

Corrine, the owner of the studio, is such a sweetheart. My parents and I have learned so much in just a few weeks of being at the studio. They have a fun mix of group classes and private lessons if you want as well. The instructors are very knowledgeable and make the classes so much fun. It’s a great way to work on cardio, posture, flexibility and be social all at the same time and is great for all ages! I’ve enjoyed it in addition to my parents who are 60s-70s

When I began planning for my mothers 60th birthday, I was prepared to send her and her sisters (affectionately dubbed the Golden Girls), on a cruise. As we all know, those options were removed from consideration over the past 18 months.Still wanting her to have a memorable experience, I came across Rungo Dance at Clearwater Garden Club. After a short telephone conference with Ms Corrine, I was confident that our partnering would indeed create an experience worthy of this milestone birthday.The location, facility and neighboring marina were Absolutely Perfect for the event.Ms. Corrine was a welcoming and engaging dance instructor. All of our guests, aged 8 to 63 were able to get up and dance!With confidence, Id recommend Rungo Dance at Clearwater Garden Club and Ms. Corrine to my extended network of family and friends.Dont let Rungo Dance be the best kept secret in Pinellas County. Go and Experience the joy Rungo Dance brings.

Corinne is the best dance teacher I have ever met. She is passionate about any dance she teaches and will make you feel very comfortable even you dont know how to dance. I have known her for 16 years and will always go back for more of dance and fitness classes specially in her new and beautiful location. There are very few people like Corinne that dedicate their lives to making other people happy with music and dance!

My passion is dancing. On and off, I have been dancing all my life. (70s Disco king) However, I had never danced formally so dancing by myself was not a problem. I realized I had a problem when I went to a Zydeco Festival in Louisiana and I had a hard time staying in zinc with the ladies while dancing. I took Zydeco lessons and also visited the Dominican Republic for Bachata festivals. I moved to Clearwater and met Corrine and started formal Salsa lessons. Corrine also gave my wife and I salsa lessons for our wedding dance. All I can say, we did great. I am very pleased with her teaching techniques. She is very patient and has helped me improve tremendously. I highly recommend Clearwater Dance Depot to anyone wanting to learn or improve their dancing.

A new dance studio in Clearwater. Great location near downtown Clearwater. Newly decorated, well maintained, tidy, very clean. Head dance instructor and owner Corrine has been a joy in the art of dance. She is passionate, very patient., and a joy. My fiancé and I started 3 weeks ago. I have not ever taken dance lessons, wish I had started dance years ago. If you are wanting to learn how to dance this is a great place. Highly recommend.

Wow! What an experience! I’ve wanted to become a good social dancer. I just never thought I could achieve such a thing; then I I met a friend who recommended Corinne. She instilled the confidence in me that I can be a good social dancer, meet new people, and make the ladies feel comfortable with the music on the dance floor. I am very pleased and I’m looking forward to my future dancing journey.

Corinne has been teaching dance for a very long time. Ive never met anyone who knows music and dance like she does. She trained me in ballroom dance 20 years ago! I became an instructor and that me to led to a professional competitor. I was previously a professional ballet dancer with a degree in dance. Ballroom was something I always wanted to learn. Corrine has a passion for dance and music which makes her an incredible teacher and she has a way of motivating you like no other. If your looking to have fun while you learn your in good hands, you will learn all about rhythms and timing, and how to use your dancing socially and look great doing it! And well Corinne is one of the most fun and kind people I know! I now own my own studio and attribute a lot of credit to Corinne, she taught me how to give good customer service, great ballroom skills and a better understanding of music! Shes the best check her out!

Some people in life are meant to shine and share their energy with others because they are abundantly born with it. There are some people who have the intelligence to translate that energy into a profitable business. Sometimes there are people who make life a work of art. Here, you can find all three aspects in one place waiting on you to dance your way through time with music. Join Rungo Dance here or Corrine at the Sportscenter at Belleair Country Club exclusively and experience the thrill of a lifestyle in a world of dancing!

Trying to find the right dance instructor can be frustrating at best but, I have found her. Corrine is an exceptional teacher with the utmost patience and understanding . She has a very congenial way of imparting her wisdom of all the dance steps to make it not only very easy to discern but actually a pure joy to learn from. Cant stress enough the qualities Corrine exudes and you dont have to look any further than Corrine Rungo as your instructor

I attend the music workshop every chance I get. The class is very informative. You will learn what dances to do to songs which is a big plus on the dance floor. Also, you will learn different rhythms and patterns in the music; not to mention all of the wonderful instruments ....some of which I had really not taken notice of before or even heard of for that matter. Im learning to count beats in music. I still struggle a little with that but Im sure that the more classes I take, I will be dancing on beat every time.

Rungo Dance is par excellence. I have been a student for a number of years. Corinne is a world class dancer and teacher and is endowed with the wisdom of experience. Rungo Dance covers a variety of related subjects and is an incredible opportunity for anyone who wants to learn dance or exercise, whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced, male or female, young or old, adult or child. The exercise class is one-of-a-kind and the most fun and fulfilling class I’ve ever had. Corinne has an ever-growing collection of high-quality music from many genres and provides occasional music classes, tying specific tracks to dance style. In all her classes, Corinne creates an environment which promotes personal growth through connection with oneself. It has also allowed me to identify and adjust postural and biomechanical issues that have caused me years of intermittent knee and back pain. Thank you, Corinne!

Every day brings a chance for you to draw in a breath, kick off your shoes, and dance by Oprah Winfrey. Oh so true, and Corrine gives you the opportunity to be your best both physically and mentally through her various dance and exercise classes. The benefits of dancing also include training your brain and body motor skills. My years of sciatica pain has disappeared as a result of attending her classes. She encourages you to have fun while learning and experiencing her many years of expertise in the dance world. Come join the fun; you wont regret it!

I highly recommend Corinne Rungo and Rungo Dance. She is a well established, consummate professional, in the fields of dance and fitness. For over twenty-five years she has taught individuals the art of formal dance, and couples wanting that unique, perfect dance for a wedding or special event.Dancing is a fun and effective way to accomplish fitness goals as well. Ms. Rungo teaches all ages and groups how to best achieve optimal fitness and health, in part by utilizing Rungo Dance and proper eating habits. Ms. Rungo works with special needs adults, introducing them to the excitement of dance and the enjoyment of socializing with one another, which are things we can all do on the dance floor with a little practice.Ms. Rungo is truly a gem!
