Cora began her dance training at a young age, specialising in Hip Hop and competing extensively across Ireland and England, where she achieved multiple championship titles. She later expanded her training into Ballet and Modern with the Kildare Academy of Dance. (Which is where Miss Vikki had the pleasure of teaching Cora).
Cora was the first Sugar Plum Fairy in The Nutcracker with Kildare Youth Ballet Company (KYBC) and further developed her classical foundation through summer training intensives with the Royal Academy of Dance. After graduating secondary school, she completed a QQI qualification in Dance at Inchicore College of Further Education. She went on to earn a BA (Hons) in Commercial Dance from the Institute of the Arts Barcelona, where she gained valuable performance experience, including appearing in a music video for a Mexican artist and performing on stage throughout Barcelona. Cora then spent two years in Australia, continuing to upskill and expand her professional experience as a dancer in Sydney and Perth.
Before returning home, Cora travelled throughout South America, gaining exposure to additional dance styles such as Salsa and Bachata. She is delighted to be teaching in Vitality Dance Academy and has loved getting to know all the students on a Friday so far.
