About Mrs. Nicki

Mrs. Nicki has been dancing since the age of two. Soon after she could walk and talk, she Shanghai’d neighborhood kids into dance press gangs where she made them endlessly rehearse and perform a never-ending cascade of numbers. Years passed and Mrs. Nicki became very popular. She was soon teaching the bulk of classes at a local studio in spite being only 14.

Some more years passed and at the age of 18 Mrs. Nicki took a trip to New York and realized that what was considered “good” in Maine was a D- at best in NYC. After some deep soul searching, she decided to start over from the bottom. After several years of dedicated travel, study and training including a trip to Europe and several to NYC, Mrs. Nicki is considered good no matter where she goes. Today, as the director of DHP she is proud to helm the studio into its 20th year, where she is producing some the best dancers to ever come out of the state of Maine.

"Dance is not just about movement; it's about expressing the inexpressible, finding joy in every step, and building confidence that extends far beyond the studio walls."
