OUR 
STORY

Founder of MK Creative Arts Studio - Maria Kordit began her dance journey at age 9 in the Pacific Northwest, becoming a competitive International Ballroom/Latin 10-Dancer.

For the past 15 years, Maria has taught children and adults, continually honing her skills with top coaches as she moved from Seattle to LA, New York, and now Raleigh. Having witnessed dance transform and even save lives, Maria believes in its power and every student's potential to achieve their goals.
