Courtney started dancing at age five. At the time, NVDC was called Mainstreet Dance Studio. She studied jazz, tap, ballet, hip hop, and lyrical. She is a former member of élan, Rose City Ballet, and Deus Vult Ensemble of Dance. The year after her graduation, she was the assistant coach for the dance team. More recently, Courtney has had the pleasure of choreographing for musicals at Hillsboro High School. Her performance resume includes productions of Annie, The Music Man, The Grinch, Cinderella, and The Nutcracker, as well as performances at Disneyland, Disney World, the Bahamas, and New York.
Courtney has been teaching dance for over 17 years! She teaches Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, and Contemporary from ages 2 to Adult. Her favorite part of teaching is “seeing the progression my students make throughout the year. The mini movers work on so much more than just dancing, and my older students work so hard to perfect certain skills. I love to see their faces when they realize they can do it!
