Nicole PieperTeacherNicole first started to take dance classes at the age of 3, instantly drawn to dancing more than any other activity. At the age of 4, Nicole began to attend classes at Elite School of Dance and Drama, participating in the Freestyle, Street dance and Latin American classes. As the years went on she continued to take regular classes at Elite and her passion for dancing grew as she did.
Nicole has taken part in many different dance performances with Elite, becoming more involved as her age and ability increased. These performances contributed to an ever-growing love and passion for dance and encouraged Nicole’s decision to study dance at GCSE and Level 3. After completing her studies at school, Nicole decided to work towards the Associate qualification in Freestyle Dance with the IDTA, passing with Distinction/Honours in December 2014. Nicole is keen to continue her studies and achieve further qualifications with the IDTA in Freestyle Dance, Ballroom and Latin dancing in the future. No listings were found matching your selection.
