Heather Cornett
My daughter has been a student at Organic Movements since they opened their doors in 2013. She participates in ballet, jazz, and acro and she has also attended their summer intensives for the past several summers. Now she is not just a student, but also starting to assist with co-teaching baby ballet. Miss Courtney is extremely nurturing and Organic Movements has become my daughter's home away from home. Over the past eleven years, my daughter has grown as both a dancer and person thanks to the guidance and teachings of Courtney and the entire staff at OM. They have instilled in her confidence, discipline, and "stick-with-it-ness" - qualities that are so important for young people (the resulting excellent posture is also a bonus!). The students in her classes have become some of her closest friends. Courtney treats all of the children that attend her studio as if they were her own, I know this from experience. The entire staff is fantastic (special shout out to Nikki and Phoebe). If you are looking for a true dance education in a family-friendly and nurturing environment, look no further. I highly recommend Organic Movements.

We are so grateful to have Miss Nikki, fondly known as Miss Courtney's right hand (and quite honestly even both hands) and her incredible knowledge and training to share with our Organic Movements students!
