Paris Ontario Faculty | C.O.R.E. Dance Project

Owner / Director

Nicole MacAvelia

My name is Nicole MacAvelia and I established C.O.R.E Dance Project in August 2008.
I grew up taking dance lessons in the town of New Hamburg at Centre Stage Dance Studio Inc.
I have completed my dance exams with the Canadian Dance Teachers Association in both Jazz and Tap. My Ballet training is through the Russian Society of Ballet. I have competed in numerous competitions throughout Canada and the United States. Growing up, I lived at the studio! I helped with as many classes as I could, I cleaned the studio and loved every minute of it.

Passion for Performance

Simply the best dance instructors in the area.

Located in the picturesque town of Paris Ontario, C.O.R.E. Dance supports an outstanding Faculty of teachers to train our dancers. We continue to attend numerous workshops to stay on-top of the world of dance.
