In Step With DC
Getting to Know You: Miss Nikki!
Written by Joe Naftal on September 26, 2017

Today we are featuring Miss Nikki in our latest edition of “Getting to Know You”!  The “Getting to Know You” series helps us get to know each of the Dance Connection teachers and staff we get to see at the studio every week and learn a little bit more about them.

 

In her free time, Miss Nikki likes to watch my brother play hockey and hang out with her family.

Her favorite song that she’s ever danced to was “Walking on Sunshine”, a precision tap piece choreographed by Miss Mary that gets restaged every few years and is always a crowd-favorite.  Her favorite dance that she’s choreographed was “I’m in Love with a Monster” from this past year’s recital.

Miss Nikki chose to work at Dance Connection because “it has been my second home for the past 18 years and I couldn’t picture teaching anywhere else”.

Miss Nikki’s Favorites:

Movie: The Blind Side
Inspirational Quote: “Change your thoughts and you change your world” – Norman Vincent Peale
Comfort Food: Ice Cream
Favorite Time of Year at Dance Connection: Recital time!

The best advice that Miss Nikki has for our DC students and parents is to stay positive, never give up, and always try their best!
