Corrie Hartong

Hendrina Cornelia (Corrie) Hartong (23 February 1906 – 9 August 1991) was a dancer, dance teacher and choreographer in the Netherlands.

[1] In 1931 Hartong set up the Rotterdam School of Dance[fn 1] along with the German dancer and teacher Gertrud Leistikow, who was 21 years older.

In 1935 the dance school became part of the Rotterdam Conservatory under Willem Pijper, with Hartong as director.

Two former students of the Havo voor Muziek en Dans, a secondary school co-located with Codarts with a special focus on music and dance, received a Corrie Hartong scholarship for the 2011-2012 academic year.

Joris Bergmans was funded for an internship at Introdans in Arnhem and Christopher Renfurm for a stint at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater in New York City.
