Instructor in Hip Hop

Hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Corey has always had a passion for and an obvious gift of dance. He studied hip hop under several instructors as a young child until high school where he decided to expand his studies and began to train in Ballet, Jazz, and Horton.

Graduate of CAPA High School, He continued his training at the Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre and Point Park Summer Conservatory Programs before moving to New York City in 2010. Since moving to New York, he has trained at the prestigious Alvin Ailey School and Broadway Dance Center focusing on his commercial and concert training. Performing a lot of liturgical works, Corey has worked with the likes of Donnie McClurkin, Kiki Sheard, Kirk Franklin, and Cheryl Pepsi Riley. While his teaching has had the opportunity to expand overseas, Corey still trains in the midst of teaching and sharing the knowledge he has honed. “It’s important for me to give back because I am sharing that fresh take on what dance has now come to be. Not sugarcoating it, but staying true to the form and technique; while also teaching performance quality and the importance of hunger and drive in this business.”

“Everything I do is bigger than I. I feel I am part of a process and generation that’s making sure, in years to come, dance continues to evolve beyond what our eyes can see and what our minds can imagine. To see potential and growth in our youth and to know you were a part of the process is the biggest reward.”
