VIVID EXPRESSION ACADEMY

reimagining dance training for a new generation

​

🌟 About Us

THIS ISN'T YOUR AVERAGE DANCE CLASS.

We are a new dance academy for ages 7-16, located in Hatfield, Hertfordshire.

At Vivid Expression Academy, we’re flipping the script on traditional dance classes.

This isn’t about perfect lines or polished performances—it’s about bold self-expression, deep confidence, and self-trust.

We offer a radically different approach where every young dancer is seen, celebrated, and empowered to be vividly, unapologetically themselves.

Led by founder Corina Lucy Best, our academy nurtures creativity, community, and confidence through the Complete Dancer Model: a holistic method that develops the artist inside every child.

🌟 What Makes VEA Different

Most studios focus on learning steps and polishing performance. At VEA, we start with expression.

Here’s what sets us apart:

  • Expression comes first—technique supports the story
  • No competitions, no comparison, no pressure to be perfect
  • Every dancer is seen, heard, and celebrated
  • Creative, heart-centred learning that builds confidence from within
  • Our first pillar of training is “unique expression”- putting each dancer firmly at the centre of their training experience.
  • Personalised guidance for every dancer.
  • Training is rooted in the authentic street dance teachings of pioneer Shabba-Doo, blended with contemporary practices and underpinned by the holistic “Complete Dancer” model

Your child deserves more than just steps.

They deserve to be free, expressive, and empowered in every class.

Meet the founder -Corina Lucy Best

​

Hi, I’m Corina.

I’m a dance educator, creative leader, and unschooling (home educating) mama of two—and I created Vivid Expression Academy because I believe dance should help us become more of who we truly are, not less.

My approach challenges traditional models. At VEA, we value expression over perfection, community over competition, and self-trust over external approval. It’s a liberatory space where young dancers feel safe, celebrated, and empowered.

✨ Why I Created VEA

I saw too many young dancers lose their spark in rigid, comparison-based studios. I spoke to many parents whose kids were having negative experiences in dance and performance art schools. It is shocking to me, how many parents have a story to tell about these spaces letting their children down in a multitude of ways. I decided that there needed to be an alternative. So I created a space where kids could be fully, unapologetically themselves—where their whole being is welcome.

💬 Our Promise to Parents

We know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your child’s creative journey. That’s why we make this promise:

We will:

  • Honour your child’s individuality
  • Support growth without pressure or perfectionism
  • Honour who they are before shaping who they become
  • Nurture their confidence, creativity, and voice
  • Teach with kindness, intention, and heart
  • Provide a space that uplifts and celebrates every child

Because we’re not just building dancers. We’re nurturing confident, expressive humans.

And because your child deserves more than just steps.

✨ Are You Ready To Support Your Child To Be Vividly Themselves?

Let your child experience what dance can feel like.
Empowering. Expressive. Joyful. Whole.

Spaces are limited. Ready to begin?

✨ What Parents Say About VEA

​

An amazing offering from a wonderful woman. If you're interested in dance as a creative outlet for self expression, you've found your dance coach. I have watched Corina teach E and other girls and boys. Its a joy to watch and I'm usually crying by the end of the class when I see the kids expressing themselves so confidently and joyfully. They put their own dances together based on their interpretation of the themes Corina presents. It's always fun and she is always intuitive to the kids needs, adapting the class to the people there. Everyone deserves a coach like this in their life. I cannot recommend her enough.
