Meet Kayla Mae 🔗

Fun Fact: I travel with a little stuffed duck named Penelope! ◡̈

“The CORE means so much more to me than just dance. It’s a community where you can grow, challenge yourself, be completely yourself, and have the best time doing it. It’s the people who push you to be better, cheer you on, and make you laugh until your abs hurt. I’m so grateful to be part of a space filled with so much love, support, and heart, and that’s what makes The CORE feel like home.“

Meet Rachel Janda 🔗

Fun Fact: when I was younger, I thought I could tighten my glasses on my face without using my hands. and that’s how I found out I could move my ears

“The CORE is special place. The energy and community that is created there is one of a kind. It’s one of the safest, most judge-free, supportive spaces I know. The CORE pushes you physically (hello ab circle and conditioning), but also allows you to find your confidence and love for dance. It’s one of my fave places to be 🤍”
