Tirene is also a Kinesiologist and a Certified Personal Trainer (CSEP-CPT), enabling her to extend her expertise from rehabilitation settings into her teaching. She is passionate about teaching injury prevention/treatment for dancers, and takes pride in helping students discover more efficient ways of moving.
