Not sure what to say?

I am forever grateful for the practice and the person, Dr. Corvino, who modeled a life in dance and teaching that was inclusive, rigorous, and filled with love of the work. His legacy continues through Andra and Ernesta, thank you for your brilliant examples, and all of his students and mentees. Much love.

Much love to Ernie and Andra on this anniversary. I am filled with gratitude and admiration for their dedication to the legacy of their father. Ernie and Andra are great pedagogues in their own right and bring so much joy and delight through their teaching. Love and Aloha, Karen Masaki

Dear Mr Corvino, whatever you are, out there, dancing on the heavenly stage, I will never forget you,...you are enshrined in my Memory, like my own beloved parents , you and your wonderful daughters and wife taught me about so much more than Just dance. You set up an example of beauty & excellence in the world (the kind of beauty that can save someone) and taught me that with discipline and hard work, that beauty was accessibile to all of us.... forever. And I will never forget that, or...

The Sky above Wuppertal today* Alfredo always mirrored in my heart and dance life* Much love Barbara

I miss you more the older I get - miss the warmth, energy and just plain straight forward approach to dance that was a part of Dance Circle. It is simply not replaceable and I miss it everyday. Thank you for those days, for the excellent training that I use still and for instilling in me strong artistic direction, technical strength and a sense of deep commitment to our art form.

With Love and Gratitude always to Mr. Corvino and the extraordinary Corvino Family, Dorothee

On this anniversary and always, I am missing you and Mrs. C and the love and direction that you both shared. Thank you to you for imparting to me your concept of equipose at the barre--and in the world. Thank you also to Andra and Ernesta for extending your legacy and helping me always. With love.

As a young person, taking Ballet in Oakland, Ca, I grew up hearing about Mr. Corvino and learning his technique from his protege Bath Jahn. When I came to New York in the 80´s to study dance in College, Dance Circle, Mr. Corvino, and Andra and Ernesta were a bright spot of warmth, colored by musicality, intelligent body mechanics and ballet that could be performed by every body. I treasure my time studying with Alfredo, and the whole family. Mr. Corvino, honors and blessings for the gifts you...
