Miss Nicole

Nicole started her dance training at the age of two right here at  Andrea’s Dance Studio. She has trained in Jazz, Tap, Ballet, Hip Hop and Contemporary.  Throughout her childhood she attended The American Ballet Academy summer camp and as she grew older trained in Manhattan at the Broadway dance center and Steps in NYC and was accepted for the dance program at LaGuardia high school for performing arts.  She has also trained with award winning choreographers such as Stacey Tookey and other SYTCD professionals at Edge Performing Arts Center in Los Angeles.  As a dancer she has competed in and won numerous competitions, performed with singers in live performances as well as music videos in NYC. 

Growing up Nicole loved performing on stage but always had a passion for teaching and choreographing dances for others.  As a teacher/choreographer Nicole’s competition students have won numerous awards and competitions throughout the tri-state area.  Her passion for teaching dance has driven her to teach dance classes at many public schools including P.S. 83, P.S. 105, Anne Hutchinson middle school and Greenvale middle school teaching grades 2 – 5 hip hop and jazz.  Over the years Nicole has worked for many colleges such as Hostos Community college and Fordham University working with all ages teaching hip hop and jazz.  Throughout her dance carreer Nicole has always strived to ultimately own her own dance studio and pass on her passion for dance to future generation.  She has recently fulfilled this dream and  taken over Andrea’s Dance Studio, the school she originally started her training in and is now the owner/director of the studio.  She hopes to keep this 50 year old business running with a fresh new vibe and bring in new styles of dance for her students.
