Cori-ography Dance & Cori And The Music

Working with Cori has been a blast! Taking dance lessons was definitely one of our favorite parts of the wedding planning process. It was a time for my fiancé and I to do something physically active and mentally challenging, and it was very much due to Cori’s personality and teaching style.
I have a musical theatre background so learning choreography is something I am fairly used to. My fiancé, however, not so much. Cori did amazing job to make us both feel super comfortable and confident learning the choreography. The dance itself was challenging for me without being too much for him to handle. We both so looked forward to going to dance lessons throughout the process and would absolutely recommend any couple to work with Cori. You will be hooked!

Cori is wonderful to work with and has been so accommodating to our busy schedules. We are definitely not natural dancers and she will get you feeling comfortable in no time. We are practicing our wedding first dance and we have noticed tremendous improvement in just the first few lessons. We have taken a few lessons previously and it just left me more unsure of myself. But Cori eases you into the basics and will not let you progress until the base is set. I think that’s what is missing in more lessons and we can definitely tell. I can’t wait to get on the dance floor at our wedding! Thank you, Cori!

Cori is wonderful! My fiancé have been taking lessons with her for a few months now and she is awesome. She makes the classes fun and entertaining, while also very productive. She has a great amount of insight for brides. If any other brides are like me and have nobodies what they are doing regarding the whole weddings thing Cori knows so much more than dance! Definitely will not be disappointed!

Cori is the best. I messaged her late one night on Facebook as we were frantically looking for some help with our wedding that was weeks away. She responded right away and worked with our crazy schedules. I do not come from a dancing background and she made it look like we kinda knew what we were doing! Our samba first dance was really well received. If we stayed in San Diego, we would continue taking lessons with her because they were so much fun! Thank you so much, Cori!!!

Cori is absolutely amazing! She really knows her stuff! My family and I took about 6 weeks worth of lessons and we all enjoyed it. Her style is very informal and easy to learn. Rather than feeling like a ballroom lesson, it felt like we were really dancing on the dance floor. Even though we come from a latin background, there were a lot of bad habits we had and Cori taught us some tips and tricks to enhance our dancing. She is fun to work with and now that Salsa can be checked off the list, I want to learn to dance Bachata better =) If I didn’t have two babies at home, I would definitely continue the lessons, but my family loved them so much they will continue taking lessons with her. They loved working with her.

Cori is amazingly talented and super great to work with. Highly recommend her to everyone that I know.

My fiancé and I wanted to take a few dance lessons before our wedding just so that we could dance comfortably together. I found Cori through groupon and Unilocal and booked her for a couple of private classes. I had read reviews for a few other places that seemed to have great instructors, but also came with a hard sell for purchasing packages, so I was leery of that. Cori let us know after our first class that she would send us some information so that we could extend our lessons if needed, which was great as it was clear that we would really need more than two lessons to get anywhere. The pricing was super fair and she gave us lots of options for how to proceed. I appreciated not feeling forced into making a large purchase. Plus, after our first lesson I was confident that I wanted to continue our lessons with Cori for as long as we can! Even post wedding I hope that we can continue to make a hobby out of dancing and grow with Cori as our instructor. She makes us both feel super comfortable and always has a way to break things down so that it makes sense for each of us personally. I am not sure we would have progressed as well as we have in 3 weeks without her instant understanding of how and why we might be moving or reacting in certain ways. I highly recommend Cori and look forward to continuing with her. She is an excellent teacher.

Cori is a very talented artist! I saw Cori perform at an art walk in Liberty station and was truly impressed and inspired by her musical presence. Not only does she sing, she plays the piano and occasionally busts out the harmonica. Cori is passionate about her work and she puts her heart and soul into each song and dance. She is an excellent musician and also a trustworthy, patient and encouraging teacher. Sign yourself up for a class– I did and it was the best decision I made!

I found Cori dancing at Queen Bee’s and I was blown away! She dances salsa the way I wish I could dance salsa. so I went up to compliment her and she gave me her business card (good one btw).
I took a few lessons, and I am soooo much more comfortable even practicing salsa in public spaces. I really struggled with just getting out there, and she helped me get over my inability to follow a lead. If you’re looking to learn how to dance salsa, Cori is a fantastic teacher, and she always made room for me and my horribly busy schedule. She’s awesome, and I can’t wait to start taking lessons with her again!

Okay, had a very small wedding last minute and totally forgot about having music !!! Called cori and she gladly helped me out 2 days before the wedding and did an amazing job. No hesitation or anything. She made room in her busy schedule to help me out on my special day. She played beautifully.

Cori is great! I heard about her through one of her past clients and did a Friday night Salsa dancing class with her which was amazing. It was a small class so we got lots of one on one attention and she helped me go from complete novice to moving with the music. I highly recommend you give her a shot, the classes are fun and informative!

I loved dancing with Cori! So, I found Cori through Unilocal.I was looking for someone to put on a private dance class for me and 9 of my peeps. It was an outing to celebrate my birthday and prepare myself and friends for a wedding we are all in together. Cori is professional and sweet and it doesn’t matter how bad you think you are, she can help you. She was very patient and never called anybody out or made us uncomfortable. We had so much fun, my husband wants to take another class with her! Thanks Cori for making my birthday fun.

Cori was great and worked with my now husband and I to perfect our wedding day first dance! We wanted something we could learn in a few months and feel comfortable with but also something unique and fun that our family and friends would remember. She was patient and took time to help us get each move down. I would absolutely recommend her work and teaching!

We hired Cori about a year ago for a going away brunch at a country club in CT. We were very impressed with her professionalism. The 60 or so guests were delighted with her unique style of music while playing keyboard. I particularly loved her rendition of Adele’s «Someone like you» and her own personal compositions. We also appreciated that she kept the music as a «background» feature rather than overpowering the conversations while we ate. She also played excellent songs choices when she DJ’d after the brunch for dancing. We would recommend Cori And The Music to anyone who would like a professional, talented singer for their party or even enjoy her at a club performance. Fantastic!
