Instructor Bio
Fullout Cortland is an electrifying VMA Award-Winning Creative Choreographer & Music Arranger who stomped his way into the entertainment industry by developing artists like Doja Cat, SZA & Chloe Bailey creating ground breaking moments that have shifted the expectation of performance in pop music. Cortland began his humble journey in Miami, Florida where he studied and consumed every award show and music video his eyes touched. Eventually, Cortland relocated to Atlanta, where he directed and choreographed his own creative projects. As he had no choice but to self-train. He filmed consistently and independently - not knowing that these self-sharpened tools would land him on the biggest stages in the world. Cortland believes that his main purpose is to continue to shift popular culture while bringing out the best of every artist & client he encounters by finding the “Super” in the superstar. By finding each client’s strength and capitalizing on it, he begins stretching them into new horizons. In 2021 Cortland was nominated for iHeart Music’s Best Choreography Award. And in 2022, he was also named Baller Alert’s Top Choreographer. Over the last few years Cortland is responsible for choreographing some of the most critically acclaimed live performances including Doja Cat’s 2022 Coachella performance as well as Chloe Bailey’s “Have Mercy” Music Video while working with already established icons like SZA, Ari Lennox, Jazmine Sullivan & more.
