Fox Dance Academy Professional Instructors & Office Staff

Zack Wright is the quiet force that keeps Fox Dance Academy running smoothly, and the inspiration behind its name. Named in his honor by his wife, the studio reflects his middle name, Fox, a symbol of the creativity, strength, and support he brings to everything he does.

Zack is the academy’s tech guru, master of all things digital and mechanical, and the one everyone turns to when something needs fixing. He’s also a full-time paramedic, devoted husband to the studio’s owner, hands-on prop master, and wrangler of the ever-energetic Wright children.

From late-night builds to last minute music cuts, Zack’s presence is felt in every corner of the Den. Without him, the show wouldn’t go on—and definitely wouldn’t go as smoothly.

 Corinne Wright brings over two decades of experience to the studio as a dedicated dance educator, choreographer, and mentor.

Corinne has danced professionally, judged for national dance competitions, and passionately taught dancers of all ages for the past 21 years. Her deep industry knowledge and lifelong commitment to the art of dance continue to inspire excellence and confidence in every student she teaches.
