CAROLYNNE MILLARD
Co-owner/Studio Director

Carolynne’s affinity for dance began in Alberta at the age of 5 as a young student of Jazz dance. As a young girl spending time during the summer months at the family cabin, the future was being written. At the age of 10 Carolynne began her career as the Choreographer and Director of the “The Dance Show”. The show was comprised of Carolynne, Allison, friends and little brother David….also the family dog. Under Carolynne’s direction everyone worked together and the local neighbours and families were invited to purchase tickets to “the dance show”.

Carolynne’s career led her into the world of business, working in the Computer and Insurance industries, specializing in customer service and sales support. During this time she continued her dance training and became a member of the B.C. Lions Dance Team for 3 consecutive years. More recently, she performed as a Hip Hop dancer in the 2010 Winter Olympics Closing Ceremonies in Vancouver, B.C.

As co-owner of Affinity Dance, along with her sister Allison, general business and administration has been her primary focus. Her dance experience combined with her business experience enhances the efficiency and understanding of operating a dance school. Carolynne’s interests and experience has continued to grow and has now led her to the path of fitness. Her passion or affinity for yoga became a desire to teach and share her knowledge of this practice. In August of 2011 she studied and completed her Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training in Kythira Greece. As well as yoga, Carolynne discovered an amazing form of exercise and dance which is ZUMBA and has become a Certified Official Zumba Instructor.

Along with managing Affinity’s Dance Program, Carolynne is now creating the Affinity Fitness Program which includes Zumba and Yoga and is looking forward to offering more fitness classes and sharing well-being with everyone.
