Cortney Blair 

Meet Cortney Blair, the owner, and founder of The Space Dance Co. With over 30 years of dance experience, Cortney's passion for dance is evident in everything she does. Her expertise in a wide range of dance styles, from classical ballet to hip hop, and her specialization in Acro and Jazz, make her a sought-after dance teacher and choreographer.

Cortney's love for dance took her to New York City, where she trained at the renowned Broadway Dance Center under the guidance of Sheila Barker. Her training and experience in New York City have given her a unique perspective on the world of dance, which she brings to her teaching and choreography.

Cortney lives in Kalamazoo with her husband and two children, Rowan and Raya, who share her passion for the arts. When she's not teaching dance or choreographing, you can find Cortney rock climbing in the mountains or enjoying the great outdoors.

Cortney's commitment to her students is unmatched. She believes that dance has the power to transform lives, and she works tirelessly to create a nurturing and supportive environment for her students to grow and thrive. Cortney's expertise, passion, and dedication make her a valuable member of The Space Dance Co. team, and her contributions have helped make the studio a premier destination for dancers of all levels and styles.
