Corine Latreille

Corine grew up in Victoria BC, where she competed in artistic gymnastics for ten years. Her success as a gymnast led her to the pursuit of her dream of performing with Cirque du Soleil. At the age of nineteen, Corine joined l’Ecole nationale de cirque in Montreal. Majoring in acrobatic Hand to Hand with a minor in Handstands. One of her proudest moments was performing alongside Avril Lavigne at the closing ceremonies of the 2006 Torino Olympic Games.

Corine’s lifelong dream came true as she began performing for world-renowned Cirque du Soleil on their touring show Kooza in 2006. She travelled for six marvellous years with Kooza, performing a featured Hand to Hand act with her husband Sergey. During her time on Kooza Corine was also part of the management team as Dance Captain, leading choreographic rehearsals & integrating new artists into the show’s principal group acts. Her experience as an acrobat & performer led her to become Contortion Captain, in which she coached Kooza’s talented young contortionists, stretching & preparing them for each daily show.

Corine & Sergey retired from touring life in 2012, deciding to make their home in Vancouver, B.C. They wanted to share their passion for health & fitness with the masses, thus they created their personal training company Fitnastika Fitness.
