Nicole Polk, Senior Dance Instructor

(30+ Years Dancing)

Nicole has also been dancing since she was a Tinymite.  She has been with us since we began our journey and was a teacher for us before heading off to IUP for college.  During her freshman year, she was very upset at missing her first recital ever so she joined us during 3 of her 4 college years onstage. She has returned to our staff during the 2016-2017 dance year and again, we couldn't be happier to have her!  She’s performed in 30 dance recitals!!   

Nicole is a graduate of Lehighton High School and has a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from IUP.  She is the Waiver Administrator for Carbon Monroe Pike Developmental services.  She is a huge advocate for rights of individuals with disabilities and one of the kindest people you will ever meet.

Our 2007 Disney trip was Nicole's favorite.  She absolutely LOVES tap dancing, not only to perform but to teach as well.  Besides dancing, Nicole's loves include good coffee, her 2 cats, and watching British Netflix documentaries.  Nicole is now a mama to two beautiful boys, so her interests now include preventing her kiddos from causing world destruction, LOL! Her favorite Disney character is none other than Doug from "Up".  He's the best!
