About
I’m a New York City based Broadway “triple-threat” bringing all the tools and tricks from the professional stage to the rehearsal studio. I specialize in the total package of dance-singing-acting for singers and dancers at any stage of experience. Even if you're not pursuing a career in Musical Theatre, I can help fine tune your ability to sing with greater confidence, better breath support, reducing tension while singing, refining your dance technique and understanding how to "tell the story" through music and movement.

Nicole is not only highly skilled, knowledgeable and talented, she is also extraordinarily kind, enthusiastic and generous of spirit. I feel very lucky to have found such a gem of a performance coach and choreographer to help me improve my musical theatre artistry. Her coaching, choreography and her belief in me allowed me to work on a song that was a real challenge and improve my physicality in general. She really can do it all and she’s so much fun to work with! Thank you, Nicole!!

Nicole is amazing! I just started taking voice lessons with her to prep at for an audition. She helped me improve on our very first lesson and I can’t wait to continue learning more from her. She is very professional, responsive and fun! Nicole is the real deal and I’d recommend her to anyone who wants to improve whether that be vocal, dance or overall performance. She’s got it all!

Wow! My daughter has thoroughly enjoyed voice lessons with Mrs. Nicole! She is is always counting down the days until her next lesson. Nicole is very professional and extremely knowledgeable. She is very friendly and personable with instructions as well as casual “catch-up” conversations. We feel we made the best decision for our daughter by choosing to take lessons from Nicole! Highly recommend!!!

Nicole is a phenomenal teacher and talent! I’m an adult with no formal dance training whatsoever. I was always so fascinated by dance, especially ballet, but never felt confident enough to try it out as an adult. I would take some group classes here and there but never felt comfortable or like I understood what the teacher was saying, it always felt a bit too foreign and intermediate for me so I’d always give up.
Nicole made all the movements movements and language so understandable to follow. She has a beautiful way of using metaphors to create a sense of comprehension based off of what one would already know. She came up with super brilliant ways of communicating complex ideas, movements, and scientific breakdowns of what’s actually happening to the body while creating those movements. It truly helped me to understand and feel what I was doing and what I needed to do in order to get the proper foundational movements down. I learned so much in just one lesson, I was thoroughly impressed.
I’m looking forward to learning more ballet; feels like more of a possibility now! 🤗🤗🤗
