Dance Instructor and Choreographer

Creator. Dancer. Artist

Whether it's solos or full shows and productions, let's create and collaborate together! I am a former Radio City Rockette and SAG-AFTRA actress with over 25 years of experience. Additionally, I have worked as a dance instructor and choreographer for The Warren Consolidated School of Performing Arts, as well as an award-winning choreographer and instructor for Mack Avenue Dance Center. I am the founder and director of Adaptive Dance at MADC, in collaboration with Kids On The Go. I have experience instructing and choreographing for various genres of dance, but my specialization and passion lie in Musical Theatre.

What Our Clients Are Saying

  • "Having Ms. Cori for 3 years as a dance teacher helped me improve so much, I'm not trained in dancing at all and even then, she allowed me to always feel comfortable in dance class. Ms. Cori always kept a smile on her face which made the environment of her class a lot more friendly and welcoming. She bettered my technique and allowed me to grow in all different techniques in dance. I will always appreciate the work she did and remember how much she helped me out through high school. "

    Will Bernstein
    NYCDA, New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts

  • "I had Mrs. Cori for 3 three years and just in that short time she has taught me so many things about more than just dance but how to be one with myself as well. I am an aspiring Musical theatre actor, so the dance classes I had with Mrs. Cori were crucial at my early age. Before Mrs. Cori, I had no professional training but as soon as she joined my theatre program it was like she took me under her wing and helped me grow exponentially to be the performer I am now. She prepared me well for college as I am now at the top level in jazz at my Musical Theatre Conservatory college. Training under Cori means more than just learning dance technique, it is finding your true self and how that connects you to the art of dance. Mrs. Cori will always have a special place in my heart and a crucial point in my career."

  • "As an advanced dancer applying to musical theatre programs, I wanted to work with an audition coach who could really challenge me. Cori was great! She created a routine that highlighted my strengths and really pushed me to my best work. She worked with me multiple times to make minor corrections that made all the difference in mastering the more difficult steps. Loved, loved, loved my experience!"

    Rebecca Drahl
    Grosse Pointe South High School

  • “Working with Ms. Cori helped me gain control of my movements and allowed me to become more confident in my work. She taught me so much about expressing myself through dance, as well as how to prepare for auditions in the future! I am attending the University of Michigan in the SMTD for Vocal Education, but I am also taking ballet class at the University and she really prepared me for success in the course! I highly recommend her to anyone interested in private dance lessons!”
