Diane Nicole
Director,
Body & Spirit Program
0 Diane Nicole in the center

Diane Nicole received her BA in Speech and Theatre Arts from Montclair University.

She came to New York to pursue a career in theatre and spent a solid 12 years performing.  She represented the chorus contract as a counselor for the Actors Equity Association for 10 years, gaining experience in negotiations and budgeting.  She went on to choreograph professional productions and to work with children in theatre production and movement; she also acted as a consultant for Sesame Street Magazine on movement development and music education.  Diane developed a program for toddlers in movement education which grew into a full theatre program for children called the Kids Company and also worked with youth at Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church in their Sunday School musicals and children's choir.

Diane has a certificate from the Dance Notation Bureau in labanotation, has taken courses at the Juilliard School and is working toward her certification in the Dalcrose method of Music Education.  She has been studying dance since she was too young to remember!

She loves working with people, guided by the belief that if you grab someone when they are young and pliable, you can help fill them with a desire to learn and use their talents.  When working with older adults, you can be part of reminding them to share their talents, whatever they may be, to the fullest.
