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 for Snoop Dogg, Aqyila (Juno Awards), Aurora Matrix, Canadian Premier League, OLG, Osmows, Casey House, Gangnam Project, and more.

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

I’m so excited to build the CORE into a new home and community for my students and to see how much potential we can uncover together!


Nina Li, Founder & Instructor

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