Cori's love for dance began at just 3 years old, and she spent the next 15 years training, competing, and performing with Jr. Jam. Throughout her career, she has trained in ballet, jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, and show dance, building a strong technical foundation and a well-rounded understanding of dance. She also danced all four years on Pendleton High School's Rhythmic Mode while continuing to compete at the studio level.
In 2019–2020, Cori coached Hermiston's Stardust Dance Team alongside Head Coach Susan Stephens, helping athletes grow both as dancers and as individuals. She believes dance is about so much more than learning routines—it's about building confidence, discipline, resilience, and a lifelong love for movement.
Cori is passionate about creating a positive, encouraging environment where every dancer feels supported, challenged, and inspired to reach their full potential. Whether your child is stepping into a dance class for the very first time or striving to take their training to the next level, Cori is dedicated to helping them grow in both technique and confidence.
When she's not in the studio, Cori enjoys exploring the outdoors, reading, and spending quality time with her family in Hermiston.
