MEET THE TEAM

Hi everyone! I’m Nina, the creator of the CORE. I started dancing at the age of 4, training extensively in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, and Contemporary growing up, and eventually found my love for Heels and Jazz Funk when I moved to Toronto.

Since then, I’ve worked with artists like Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Usher, Lil Twist, Aqyila (Juno Awards), Aurora Matrix, etc. in addition to various appearances on TV and live performances.

I have had the pleasure of teaching internationally in Bulgaria, Brussels, France, Greece, Italy, Ireland, Mexico, Netherlands, the US, and all across Canada, and have also taught at world-renowned studios like Millennium Dance Complex, Offstage by GRV, and the Manor LDN.

if we could eliminate the fear of perception, we could unlock potential that dancers don’t even know they have yet.
