About the Artist
Nicole is an energetic and upbeat dance teacher known for her vibrant style. Having nurtured students as a studio owner and instructor for over 20 years, she now brings her passion into schools using creative dance as a kinesthetic classroom tool.
Teaching Philosophy
Dance Your Heart Out® engages students of all talents. First, individualized lesson plans are crafted based on teachers' goals. Next, we build a supportive atmosphere. Then students can create choreography and see the connections to their curriculum.
Testimonial
"I've tried dancing before, but it has always seemed too strict and perfect for me. The way you enthusiastically motivated us to do our own thing and be ourselves is so unique. Thank you for showing me my dancing self." -Sadie and Max, 6th graders
Program Description
This is a chance to make your very own dance! Nicole will show you how. Using fun and uplifting activities that break it down, everyday students will explore one aspect of dance: body action, space, energy, and time. Then Nicole will show them how to combine the segments. By the end, the students will have a dance they can perform.
Dance is an excellent platform for social/emotional learning. It can be done individually as a form of self expression or in small groups to focus on collaboration.
