The Journey

Artistic Journey

Nikki's passion for DANCE started at age 5, was nurtured at the prestigious Joffrey Ballet School, and further flourished as a professional dancer. 

 

She has performed and collaborated with Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg, Lil Jon and the East Side Boyz, Kat Deluna, Ultra Nate, Cherie Lily and Andrew  WK, Unisex Salon, Alternative Arts Association, Chic.TV, MTV, Nickleodeon, BET, VH1, FOX, CBS, Rouge, Bollywood Awards, Hip Hop Odyssey Awards, and Dodge to name a few.

โ€‹

Over time, her work began to shift. Not away from professionalism, but toward something more integrative. Her artistry—fueled by devotion, discipline, and depth—laid the groundwork for what would eventually become The Movement®, a sacred return to the body’s original knowing.

I had to make a choice...

Metamorphosis

Gradient Backdrop

After years of success in the dance world, I found myself diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and hospitalized for reasons doctors couldn’t explain.

 

That was my wake-up call.

โ€‹

I had to make a choice: keep performing, or start listening.

The Movement® didn’t come from breakdown.
It came from breakthrough.
From the wild, body-based intelligence that rose when the performance ended and the real dance began.
