Michael Cornell

Michael is the founder and CEO of the ALIGN Ballet Method. He studied classical ballet at the National Academy of the Arts, renowned for its illustrious community of students and faculty from all over the world. Upon graduation, he embarked on a 10-year long career with BalletMet, where he danced leading roles (including pieces designed for him by elite contemporary choreographers). After retiring from the stage, Michael relocated to Los Angeles and began a career as a certified fitness trainer, which became the early lab for ALIGN. He has taught on-camera segments for celebrities such as Pauly D (MTV’s Jersey Shore), the women of WWE (E!’s Total Divas), and YouTube sensation/actress, Liza Koshy. 

Being able to be taught by an amazing instructor like Michael for such a low price is such a hidden gem in LA. He’s detailed and relatable. He is excellent at explaining and relating ballet to grander concepts. He works at a steady pace, creates a safe environment, is respectful, knowledgeable, and deeply inspiring.

Michael is the very best person and teacher. The classes are challenging and enjoyable.

Michael is an A+ teacher in every way. I take the Saturday Basic 1 class. I love it that he drills into the details of technique — and still wants us to “dance the barre”. Yes! That he is incredibly musical is a bonus. Watching him mentor and partner with his accompanist has been a delight.
