Maria did a great job choreographing and teaching us a wedding dance! I loved her philosophy toward designing the dance - giving us some key moves to use at the beginning and the end. It was low pressure, we learned SO MUCH over 2 hours, and we had a great time while doing it. Maria also had us record some videos so we can refer back to them while practicing before the big day. Absolutely a pleasure to work with Maria, who was so professional and talented! As a two-woman couple, we also appreciated her ability to choreograph something for us that didn't fall into traditional male/lead female/follow roles. Honestly, we're talking about going back as just a date night sometime because we had such a great time!

About Maria Kordit (MK Ballroom)
I am an experienced dance instructor covering Latin, Ballroom, and Club dance styles! My teaching methods are geared to how you learn best - visual, kinesthetic, auditory, etc. I began dancing at the age of nine in the Pacific Northwest region and became an International Ballroom 10-Dance DanceSport competitor. At the age of 20 I left the competitive world of dance and began working as a part-time dance instructor in various private and franchise studios in Seattle, Orange County - California, and Brooklyn - NYC, while pursuing a professional career in healthcare and public health. My experience covers everything from kindergarten level children group classes, to hundreds of wedding couples, to senior adults that are using dance therapy for neurodegenerative disease management. Although I was trained by a syllabus and strong guidelines, my theory on dance is very dynamic and focuses on kinesthetic understanding of movement and empowering one to feel confident. I have seen dance change countless lives. It is the universal language that overcomes all boundaries - may it be religion, geography, character, culture, and all else. Whether you are looking to overcome your anxiety, build confidence to meet someone special, get ready for a wedding, or need some spice at an event/party - I will help you all shine your brightest on the dance floor.

Maria was an absolute dream to work with! She was SO kind, talented and helpful! :) She helped my vision and dream of the perfect first dance become reality by choreographing and training my husband and I over the course of a few months. I can't thank her enough for her part in making my wedding day the best day of our lives <3 I highly recommend her to anyone that is interested in learning to dance, polishing their skills or just having a fun date night with their partner. She's a treasure :)
Maria was very thorough with her explanations of dance steps and gave us exercises to do at home.
She was great and we learned our choreography in two hours. We will probably hire her again right before the big day to refresh the dance.
Maria was amazing!! She did our tutorial in our home. We had less than a month to prepare a wedding dance. She was very thoughtful about the song and came prepared steps. We enjoyed working with her!!! We would do a lesson as a date night!!! Highly recommend!!
Maria was prompt, very professional, a great communicator. We thoroughly enjoyed the break down of steps and it was easy to follow. She took her time to explain and do the right way. She is very friendly and had lot of patience. We would definitely have more classes. Thanks again Maria.
Maria did a short performance for us and led a group of 20 in a salsa dance session. She is an incredible teacher, commands the room and extremely professional; her dancing was beautiful, graceful and her passion for her dancing clearly shines through; would have no hesitation in highly recommending her...
Maria is awesome! Very professional and and great to work with. I can’t wait to use her services again soon!
