Nicole is a Junior at Metea Valley High School in Aurora, and she is currently beginning her eighth year with Extensions. She started dancing at the age of three, but she was intrigued to begin dancing at an even earlier age as she always stood in the window at the studio and watched her two older sisters in their classes. Nicole’s favorite dance genre is ballet, but she enjoys all styles. Nicole has trained in many styles including ballet, pointe, contemporary, lyrical, jazz, tap, hip hop, modern, and even hula dancing. She has been dancing competitively since she was six years old, and loves to perform on stage more than anything. Nicole always looks forward to seeing all of her dance friends and mentors multiple times throughout each week, and wouldn’t trade all the time she spends i’m the studio for anything. Though, when Nicole isn’t dancing, she enjoys spending time with her family and friends and her two dogs of course! Nicole would like to the thank the Lizzie Mackenzie and all the Extensions faculty for all they have done for her, and looks forward to her continued growth alongside her beloved team and mentors!
