CORE Families Say It All

Every class, every week, every month, every year our dancers get 100%

From the day I stepped into CORE with my 2 year old daughter ten years ago, I knew this was going to be an amazing environment for her. Over the years, I have watched Nicole grow the business through her passion for dance, yes, but also her love of kids and her community. Nicole has consistently shown that everyone is welcome at her studio and she will work to bring out the best in every person who walks through the doors; she never gives up on anyone. My daughter is now 12 and what started as a hobby has turned into her everything. The studio has become a second home to her and the staff and students are a second family. If you’re looking for an inviting dance studio, talented teachers and choreographers, and a competitive team that becomes more and more outstanding each year, you’ve come to the right place!

Nicole is a very organized individual and it shows within all aspects of CORE. I have been involved in several studios over the past and CORE has been the only studio that I felt has put just as much heart in to the dances as the dancers. Nicole has an amazing way with the kids.

Our family has been members of C.O.R.E Dance Project for two fantastic years! The passion and dedication from Nicole towards her students and the love of dance is amazing and keeps us coming back for more! We look forward to being a part of the C.O.R.E family for many years!!!

Prior to taking the C.O.R.E. adult dance class, I had absolutely NO dance experience. I just knew that I liked to dance when out at weddings or on a dance floor. This class was exactly what I was looking for. A fun, engaging class where no one is judged on their ability or lack thereof. The music is always current and upbeat. The moves that are taught are easy to learn. Nicole’s class has become my stress reliever and a time that I can laugh and just relax. I also wouldn’t have ever dreamed that I could improve and progress and have some dance ability! Nicole creates such a fun atmosphere for us all. She is never allowed to retire because I will be taking this class until I’m 80!

After searching and interveiwing every dance studio in the area our last stop was CORE. After our first visit we knew we had found our dance home. It was easy to see the dedication to the students and the professional experience in all forms of dance. The programs are balanced and fun with great choreography. My girls love it, I love it!

Core Dance is the ultimate small town studio with a BIG TIME impact. My children have been changed forever because of CORE dance and the instruction they have received from Nicole. My girls have gained confidence, grace and have made life long friendships and absolutely just love to dance.

CORE is truly a family feel studio, Nicole knows all of her families well and treats us with the utmost kindness. She absolutely brings her love of dance to all who enter her doors, CORE DANCE PROJECT truly rocks and we can’t wait to see what is in store for next season.

First and foremost let me say that the shows were spectacular this past weekend! They were very professional, the costumes were brilliant and age appropriate and all the dances looked like a load of FUN! You clearly did a LOT of work to prepare and for that we thank you! Thanks SO much!

First off let me just say WOW, WOW, WOW it was AMAZING ! – every year I am impressed so much more than the year before. The costumes were fabulous ! The lighting and effects made not only the kids costumes shine like crazy, but they really highlighted the dancers. I helped Sat afternoon upstairs and you have things so well organized it was a pleasure helping (and I’ve run a lot of events and volunteered at lots of other events and I know the work that goes into something like this, and so many times for the volunteers it’s a bit confusing or chaotic, not so when I helped on Saturday.) I can’t say enough with how well everything was done. Congratulations to you and your team ! You can really see your love for what you do come through in every aspect. We are so glad that we choose CORE for Abbey and look forward to many more years to come. Thanks for the great memories!

I just wanted to take a quick moment tonight before the week gets away from me to thank you for a wonderful day!! What you have done for these dance kids and the families is just awesome. The opportunity to dance at Springtime in Paris was a fun, enjoyable way to end the season. And… that bbq tonight was incredible! You and your fellow teachers/ staff/ helpers deserve a huge thank you because you didn’t have to do any of it and C.O.R.E. would still be an awesome place! It was just a great opportunity for the kids and families to get to know each other some more and enjoy each other’s company- so THANK YOU! As Camryn would say YOU ROCK!

Nicole is enthusiastic, fun, and very personable. My daughter was in the Mini Ballet class and she loved every minute from the start of the dance year to the recital. I loved working with Nicole in the adult tap class. Nicole works with your skill ability, so if you have never taken dance or are experienced with dance, you never feel distraught or bored in class. Both my daughter and I are very excited for the next year of dance.

Hi Miss Nicole & Miss Ange, Thank you so much for today, Janie had a blast dancing and at the barbecue. Thank you also for everything throughout the dance season. Steve & I really appreciate what you do for the kids, you go above and beyond the expectation.
Sara
I would like to thank you and your staff for a wonderful year. Your love of dance sure shows in each one of the faces that were on stage. Thanks again.
Dawn Wilkinson
I just wanted to tell you that the recital this year was just awesome. I hope you realize just how much you have accomplished with your studio. It really is great to see someone so talented, positive and hard working be rewarded with a dedicated group of families who love to be part of what you are doing. It speaks volumes about you that your students & their families think so highly of you. Thank you for providing such a great atmosphere for our kids.
Shelly Ball
We want to commend you on the dance recital – it was absolutely incredible and so professional. We heard so many positive comments from the crowd at all the performances.
You are the most amazing person to pull all that together and make it look so easy (which we know it is not).
Your smile lights up the stage but even more it lights up little hearts who gaze at you with such love and trust. You are truly an amazing person and we are so glad to have found you. Being a part of something so special has instilled in Emma such a sense of accomplishment and pride. She’s learning so much more than dance steps, she’s learning about being part of a team, about pushing herself to excel, about being accountable – we’ll still be working on all those things for awhile yet!

We love that she is learning respect for not only her teachers but also the teen helpers – she absolutely loves all of the team. The young women who help every week are loving, caring, and great dancers themselves and it helps Emma to see that she can emulate such wonderful role models. Hugs and encouraging words flow in abundance and encourage her to keep trying even when she is tired and discouraged. Please convey our thanks to the whole team!

We appreciate all that you are and all that you sacrifice as you ‘infect’ these young ones with your love of dance and mastery of essential life skills. You are an incredibly special person in our lives!

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Nicole and Miss Ang, We had our first experience as “dance parents” this weekend and what an amazing time! We really appreciate all of the hard work that you guys put into the weeks leading up to this weekend and into how last night and today went. It was so well organized and well thought out (particularly toddler-friendly which we are so grateful for).
Hannah just LOVED being on stage (oh dear…what have we started?!) and loves dance class.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. The recital is going down as one of my favorite things in her 3rd year for sure!!!!
Dee Falkiner
Thank you Nicole for all you do for those Kids you did an amazing job along with all the wonderful help that you have. Hope Meghan and I can be part of that next year. Meghan has grown to be a confident young lady and that has been part to you for encouraging her. Thank you once again

You are amazing. I have never seen my little girl smile so big. The show was awesome. What an amazing group of kids. Lauren is super excited about today and made a lot of new friends in the changeroom she can’t wait to see again. Such an amazing experience for her. Thank you for making it so special.
