Dance Masterclasses with Nicole

Modern/Contemporary or Ballet for the Contemporary Mover

In my classes, I foster a safe and supportive environment where dancers are encouraged to listen to their bodies as they explore and connect with the dance form.

Together, we refine anatomical alignment and technique while embracing the joy of movement and celebrating the unique individuality of each dancer’s performance.

Dancers are challenged to take creative risks, step outside their comfort zones, and explore their artistry in dynamic and engaging ways. My goal is to create classes that are not only accessible and inclusive but also meaningful, thought-provoking, and infused with a sense of play, curiosity, and bold exploration.

  • "Nicole's Nourished Dancer Class is a powerful balm for any dancer's soul. It combined all the things my body wanted with all the things my mind needed. I walked away feeling lighter, brighter, and inspired. Nicole is warm, welcoming, and supportive, and just the kind of teacher we need in today's dance world."

    Katrena Cohea— Founder and CEO of Different Drummer Dance, Dance Educator

  • "Nicole’s workshop helped me begin to explore nutrition and health in a positive and empowering lens. Rather than telling me what not to eat and how I shouldn’t view food, which I feel like can be a common approach, she helped me see food and health as personal and individualized, just like me! I’ve started to become more curious about what I need to eat to feel strong. Nicole’s passion for food, healing, and growth shine through in her workshops, and I feel so lucky I got to work with her!”

    —Kala Seidenberg, Dance Artist and Dance Educator for NYCB Education and JCC Manhattan

  • “Nicole's enthusiasm for helping others is infectious. Her open-hearted spirit is supportive, encouraging, and uplifting. She led the Mark Morris Dance Group through weekly wellness workshops covering topics such as nutrition, boosting the immune system, cohabitating, dancing in quarantine, self care in a virtual world, and creativity! I cherished this time with her and always left feeling inspired and more equipped to incorporate healthy habits into my day.”

    Lesley Garrison— Dancer with Mark Morris Dance Group for 15 years, Co-Owner Knockout Pilates, Faculty ABT JKO School

  • “Nicole is the real deal. She is nurturing, interested, interesting, professional, and giving. I’ve worked with Nicole in a myriad of ways. She has been my dance teacher, wellness coach, and colleague. Her knowledge is unparalleled. Her classes are thorough and well planned. Her energy is invigorating and inspiring. She has positively changed my process and I know she will for you too!”

     —Brandon Cournay, Executive Director of Dance Heginbotham and Director of Dance Device Lab

  • “The affirmations made me feel very secure and loved, so I hope to take away some of those and say them to myself as much as I can. I valued the ‘filling my tank’ with food part, because I know that if I eat these foods, it will help me be more healthy and happy.”

Together, let’s create a world full of nourished, focused and confident dancers— from the inside out!
