Justine Coroza performs at Toronto Tempo home games as a member of the Rhythm Section. The Trinity College graduate traces part of that professional start to a creative writing assignment: asked to describe an event, she found Hart House's Lyricists' Lounge and its Hip-Hop Education program.

She applied for a work-study position and learned to organize events with support from the program's staff. Over the next three years, she was invited to perform and lead workshops at the annual Hip-Hop Block Party. Those experiences helped her see dance as a possible career and gave her the confidence to pursue it professionally.
