Reviews from colleagues and dancers.

“Tori Finley is an amazing mentor and always showed me that I could conquer the impossible. After each session with Tori, I felt more confident in myself than I have ever felt. I loved learning from her and she was always so supportive of me. Even though most of our sessions were virtual, Tori pushed me. Her critiques were always constructive with specific ways to correct my mistakes. This was especially beneficial during ECU tryouts. I am extremely thankful that she helped me to strengthen my skills.

“Tori’s expertise and ability to hone in on our team’s dynamics and provide invaluable feedback made all the difference in our practices and performances. We were incredibly lucky to have had her feedback both court side and in the studio!”

“I witnessed Tori take a group of student athletes from beginning dancers to advanced performers in just one season. She has such an incredible balance as an inspirational motivator and a technical expert. She took over a program of dancers with varying levels of experience and developed skilled performers who created strong family bonds quickly. She mentored them to become better dancers and individuals; I strongly recommend working with Tori to anyone seeking a dance instructor, coach, or consultant.”

“Working with Tori was such a blessing. She is not only a talented dancer herself, she is highly technically trained and has an uncanny ability to train others and improve any dancer she coaches. Tori was also able to help with our team morale and helped us institute better communication skills as a team so that we could pinpoint our weaknesses and move our team to a healthier place. She is kind and extremely dedicated to her craft and those around her. I consider myself both personally and professionally lucky to have had her assistance.”
