First Dance At Home

“This was by far the best wedding decision we made! Our guests were VERY impressed with our dance and we had so much fun doing it! Besides the actual wedding, the best part were the dance lessons themselves. They were such a fun bonding activity for my partner and I.”

“We did the lessons leading up to our wedding and it then turned into a date night as frequently as we were able to attend and our time spent with Cori was so much fun, we all laughed the entire lesson each time! She is soooo Charismatic and beyond educated in the dancing world... who knew there was so much technique that goes into dancing!! Cori knows, that's who!! Thanks to her, our first dance was a hit and even years later we still find ourselves dancing the routine in our kitchen, living room or even on vacation in the middle of nowhere. it's one of our go-to romantic gestures toward each other to start spinning and twirling and doing the dips and I'm smiling just thinking about it! Thank you Cori for the great memories and lifelong skills! We miss you”

“Cori was the BEST dance teacher we could ever ask for our wedding! I have danced since I was a little girl, but my husband on the other hand can't seem to keep rhythm so we were both nervous about our first wedding dance. After our first dance lesson with Cori, all our worries went away. She has a way of explaining movements and walking you through the motions that make it seem so easy. It has instilled so much confidence in my husband that he dances with me every chance he gets (literally, grocery stores, Target, kitchen haha) and is willing to learn other forms of dance through the Cori's studio. Thank you Cori for this incredible experience!”

“We are so happy we found Cori, as we ended up with a dance that we enjoyed, was within our confidence level, allowed us to improvise, and awed our guests all at the same time!”

“Working with Cori was one of the best decisions of the wedding process. Not only because we were comfortable and confident with our first dance, with a lovely routine to boot. But, it gave us a fun almost "date night" escape from wedding prep to laugh and just be us. Cori is also wonderful in every way. She is patient and focused but also silly and understanding of what we needed. Our dance felt like it was perfect for our level of skill and time that we could dedicate to learning a new dance. She took into consideration things we didn't want to see, and elements that we "had to have." She would also show us several moves so that we could choose the best one to fit our vision. I couldn't imagine an easier or better process for learning our First Dance. If you're looking for a rad person to work with and feel comfortable learning something new and possibly foreign Cori is definitely the way to go. ”

“Cori is amazing, and because of her we absolutely shocked everyone at our wedding with an amazing first dance! For some people, dancing does not come naturally at all, and the thought of the "first dance" is literally one of the most stressful parts of their entire wedding. That was 100% me. My husband and I decided the best approach was to go all-in, and have a unique first dance song with some legit choreography. Cori is such a warm, happy, hilarious person, and with anyone else I am honestly not sure if we could have pulled this off. She is patient and understanding of different experience levels and personality types, and most importantly, she knows what she is doing, which translates to confidence in her students. It is beautiful to watch her when she puts on the music, walks onto the dance floor, and "feels" how she wants the next piece of choreography to go. Watching Cori come up with dance patterns reminded me of watching a pianist sit down to compose music. It is true artistry and you can see the passion. Cori is responsible for one of the highlights of our entire wedding, and for that we are so grateful.”

Kevin

“We cannot recommend Cori enough! As a couple who started out with a total of four left feet, we proudly NAILED our first dance at our wedding. This was all thanks to Cori. Our first session with her was a breath of fresh air coupled with an enormous sigh of relief! The thought, "oh thank God! We aren't going to embarrass ourselves at our wedding" came to mind. She is able to explain complex dance concepts and motions in a way that anyone can understand. Please do yourselves a huge favor and work with Cori for your first dance! I promise you'll be glad you did!”

Carrie

“If you're looking for someone to help you with your first dance for your wedding.. stop here and call Cori. She's amazing. We are NOT dancers- we also didn't want some sort of formal dance routine either because that didn't feel like us. Cori listened to us and coached us to a perfect first dance that had some flashy points, but was totally us- casual, intimate, etc. The one on one setting allowed us to use our own music, she even helped us edit our song so it was a little shorter but still had the good parts! We were just so impressed all around. ”

“My now-husband and I went to see Cori for first dance lessons and all I can say is those ten weeks were some of the best we had during wedding planning. Cori is like unicorn, she's not only rare, but also magical. Allow me to explain... They say opposites attract and that is very much the case with my husband and me: I'm a visual learner, my husband learns through logic and reason; I tend to prefer the big picture first filling in details as I go, my husband likes to have information presented in sequential order. To find an instructor that would be able to accommodate these various styles of learning we thought would be nothing short of impossible. Enter unicorn Cori. She taught us in a way we were both able to not just grasp the concepts but retain them, which ultimately made for one heck of a first dance. I mean, we nailed it. Like really nailed it. And for two people who had not an ounce of rhythm between them (although we really liked to believe otherwise) this was quite the accomplishment. And that was all thanks to Cori. She's a phenomenal teacher - so much so that we're already planning on heading back for more classes - and beyond that she is an absolute gem of a human. She's patient (like very patient), she's funny (like belly aching funny), and she's got a personality that makes you feel like a better person for just having known her. Cori not only made us look good but also feel good. She gave us all the tools we needed to be confident on the dance floor and frankly we wouldn't have been the dancing king and queen we were come the Big Day if it weren't for her. So, to the bride on her hundrenth search: Stop. Go see Cori. It's well worth the investment. And to Cori: A simple thank you will never be enough but I hope it will do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. A thousand times thank you.”

“Cori is one of a kind. Wedding planning and all the chaos that was involved with our big day melted away every time we stepped onto Cori's dance floor. We wish we could give her more stars on yelp. Cori is simply an A++ instructor and ultra dedicated to her clients and her dance practice. Cori got us to a place where we felt very fluid and confident on the dance floor. If you are looking for the best dance instructor, look no further, you just found the best in the business.”
