Corps -  In French Corps translates to body and is used to describe the Corps De Ballet, or “Body of a Ballet Company”.

Principals - In Ballet a “Principal’ refers to a dancer of the highest ranking in the Company.

At Corps Principals Hawaii, we strive to educate dancers in a loving and nurturing yet disciplined environment, where strong principles guide every plié and pirouette. Our training emphasizes the value of hard work, respect, and unity within the corps, fostering a sense of teamwork and shared purpose. While we hold our principals—both instructors and student leaders—to the highest standards, we also ensure that every dancer, from corps members to aspiring principals on stage, grows in confidence and skill. By balancing care with structure, we instill both the principles of classical technique and the life principles that extend far beyond the studio
