About
Nicole is a mountain girl, born + raised in Colorado, dancing since she was 7 with Zetta Alderman + The Colorado Jazz Dance Company.
Currently, she is living in Chicago with her husband and new baby boy. Nicole is excited to be bringing Noble Bird to this city she adores and sharing her work as an integrative intuitive practitioner to current and new clients!
Recently, Nicole spent 5 beautiful years in NYC with the privilege of working at the Four Seasons NY Downtown as the Wellness Ambassador sharing yoga, dance, massage, breath and meditation with children and adults alike. During 2020 Nicole completed her 10th season, as a principal dancer with Mexico City’s, breathtaking + internationally touring, Tania Perez-Salas Compania De Danza (TPS). Nicole is the founder of a wellness startup, Noble Bird Wellness, combining massage, yoga + energy healing into a holistic healing model, including wellness journeys + luxury wellness weekends.
Previously, Nicole was proud to be a part of the Broadway Workshop of Esther a Dance Musical. She also enjoyed a season in Los Angeles with Raiford Rogers Modern Ballet and two seasons with FJK Dance in NYC. Nicole also shared two seasons with River North Dance Chicago + six seasons, as a founding member, with Elements Contemporary Ballet. She enjoyed freelancing with Stage Factor, Dance For Life, Kaye Productions, Gemini Club's music video + Mexico's designer Pineda Covalin, among others. Nicole also studied improv at The Second City Theater Chicago + spent nine years teaching dance in the inner city Chicago Public Schools via DanceArt + Dancing Classrooms.
Recognized by The University of Arizona, The Jazz Dance World Congress, Arizona Jazz Dance Showcases + The Jofferey Dance Competitions. Her choreography has been twice featured in the Arizona Jazz Dance Showcase + Solstance Chicago.
Trained in ballet, pointe, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, tap, hip hop, modern, musical theater, voice, acting + improv, Nicole is versatile across all aspects of the industry. She has learned from some of the best, including: Sherry Zunker, Gus Giordano, Ben Vereen, Patsy Swayze, Zetta Alderman, Mia Michaels, + University of Arizona staff: Susan Quinn, Richard Havey, Sam Watson + Jorey Hancock + others.
Distinguishing her from other dancers by her unique flare, Nicole's strength + versatility are apparent in both rehearsals + on stage.
Personally, Nicole loves laughing, writing + people watching. She loves the big city, the mountains, adventures + puppies. Nicole is a certified Yoga instructor + has been a nationally certified + licensed massage therapist since 2004. She enjoys her Noble Bird clients in private practice + misses her work as Wellness Ambassador at Four Seasons Spa Downtown, NY. Nicole adores the human she calls husband + her sweet baby boy!
Future plans are to share Noble Bird with Chicago and continue dancing with Mexico's Tania Perez-Salas. In the years to come, Nicole also looks forward to teaching again in Chicago Public Schools bringing the modalities of Noble Bird to the children of Chicago.
