Niki heads up the lyrical program here at the studio, she also teaches ballet, tap, and jazz. Her passion for dance came at the age of three, when her mom enrolled her in her first ballet class. She then continued her studies at Tammy Jo's Studio in Greenup, KY, where she performed in "The Nutcracker", and competed in jazz, tap, ballet, and lyrical on a regional and national level. Niki received her Associate Degree in Commercial Entertainment from Columbia State, where she performed in such shows as "Fame" and "Working". This is where she met Ann Carroll and was added to the teaching staff in 1999. Niki's dance influences include Tammy Jo Edge, Leah Copley, Troy Steiner, and Susie Miller Fuentes. She also thanks her parents for realizing that dance was more than just an expensive hobby, that it was and is a true passion. Niki also teaches dance at Battle Ground Academy Middle School, and coaches the Page high Dance Team. She also enjoys doing freelance choreography, and has choreographed locally for The Heritage Ball of Franklin, Commercial Entertainment Department at Columbia State, Hillsboro Middle School's Theatre Department and most recently Belmont University's Dance Team. She looks forward to helping students learn to express themselves through the art of dance. |
