Nicole is a second-year Economics major and Statistics minor. She sees dance as a way of expression, creativity and an outlet for the stresses of regular life. She hopes that the Ballet Company will be an opportunity for students to explore their creativity and expression through dance, as well as to meet like-minded individuals and form connections through the common interest of dance. Nicole started ballet classes at the age of 5 and completed her Royal Academy of Dance Grade 8 Certification at the age of 16. She is excited to connect with students in the UCLA community who are interested in dance and are not afraid to try something new.
