Her training began with Patti Eisenhauer in 1978 when Patti was a dance educator at the McKeon School of Dance and Gymnastics in Franklin, MA. In just two short years at McKeon’s she was accepted to the Junior Dance Machine (junior team) and later to the Senior Dance Machine. Among her many awards and accolades at the school and competitions were Overall Best Tap Dancer in the school as well as the award for Best Interpretation of Choreography at the North American Pageant Systems' National Competition in New York City in 1990 for her lyrical solo performance. She was a member of McKeon’s competing group that became two-time National Champions at the Talent America Competitions in New York in 1989 and 1990.

Nicole continued to train with Patti Eisenhauer at the prestigious Patti Eisenhauer Dance Center in Franklin, Massachusetts until the age of 22. She was a member of the advanced competing team, which consistently won their divisions at some of the country’s most difficult dance competitions.

Nicole relocated to Westport in 1997 where she continued her training at Festival Ballet Providence while following career paths in Marketing at Yomega Corp in Fall River, the leading manufacturer of high peformance yo-yos and skill toys. It was here that she met fellow dance teacher, Brett Outchcunis. She opened her school in Westport in March of 2002. She is the primary dance teacher for ballet, jazz and lyrical at the school.
