What our students say

Don't just take our word for it—listen to the rhythm of the reviews.

"Avya is a genius. I arrived with two left feet and left with a gold medal!"

— Ifeoluwakiitan V.

Why did we choose Coral Choreography? Because Manya treats you like family. She took our awkward sway and turned it into a cinematic wedding moment. I can't recommend her enough for couples who think they can't dance.

The most energetic team in New York. Every lesson feels like a party.
