Cora Dance creates exceptional dance experiences while addressing barriers that often restrict access to the arts. Cora uses dance to find common ground between artists, students, audiences & the community, offering rare opportunities for community intersection via performances, partnerships & professionally led classes. All of Cora's programs are FREE or pay-what-you-can. No one is turned away based on what or if they can pay. Cora's pre-professional and professional performance programs offer advanced students engagement with 4-6 guest artists annually, 12-20 live shows per year, scholarships, and paid apprenticeships with Cora's professional company, Shannon Hummel/Cora Dance through Cora Youth Company & Professional Apprentice Programs.
