So my Deutsch Lehrerin said in an email to me (among other things)
...Du kannst mich aber dutzen...

Would it be improper now for me to keep using the Sie form?

Yes. As she is "duzing" you and has invited you to do the same, you should follow her invitation. Keeping the "Sie"
would be really awkward and overly formal.
