DANCER
CHOREOHRAPHER
TEACHER

My desire is to captivate an audience through dance that arouses emotions, resonates with humanity, illustrates life, impacts individuals and inspires the world. Whether I am performing, choreographing or teaching, I dance with honesty and work with integrity as I strive to produce performances that are authentic, engaging and empowering through movement rich in physicality, individuality and artistry.

ABOUT

arrows.png

Nicole was born in Orange, NSW, Australia. She absolutely loved training fulltime at Ev and Bow Dance Centre in Sydney where she worked with prominent Australian choreographers and won a  prestigious silver medal for her contemporary dance solo in the Southern Hemisphere's biggest dance competition the renound McDonald's Challenge. During her time at Ev and Bow she was blessed to performed at The Sydney Opera House in Sarah Boulter’s Blood Is Thicker Than Water.  

 

She then moved to London to train at Rambert School of Ballet and Contemporary Dance where she graduated with First Class Honours . It's also where she developed a passion for choreography!   

 

Nicole  feels at HOME when she is performing on stage and is grateful she got to perform in many shows as a freelance artist in the UK. For more info on that check out her performance credits below! She also has an inner fire for choreography. Check out some of the amazing stuff she's done in her choreographic credits.

​

As an artist Nicole believes every individual is inherently valuable and therefore during her career she has taught many classes and workshops in the hope of encouraging each of us to shine our own unique light through movement. Some of her favourite memories working in the UK  also include passing on her love for dance as an artistic form of self expression to the younger generation; including choreographing youth dance performances funded by the BBC and The National Gallery.

 

During the Covid-19 pandemic Nicole relocated from the UK to Australia. She is currently a self employed freelance dance teacher, choreographer and performer.
