About the Instructor: Nicola Emerald

My path to dance began as an athlete, a state champion tennis player in my teenage years. I found my way to yoga in the nineties and fell in love with the practice, receiving my Yoga Alliance teacher training in Iyengar yoga in 1999 from Lex Gillan. Teaching yoga for fifteen years, I was profoundly shaped by this transformational discipline and lineage that still lies at the core essence of my teachings.

Expanding my exploration of movement, I delved into Pilates, barre methodologies, ballet technique, breath-work, and meditation.

Eventually, I found my calling in fusion belly dance and aerial arts. I have been privileged to study with some of the most influential figures in fusion belly dance, including Rachel Brice, Tiare Tashnick, and Zoe Jakes. I have completed Levels I and II of Rachel Brice's 8 Elements™ certification program, which offers a comprehensive approach to belly dance, focusing on technique, musicality, and personal development.

Currently, I am engaged in Zoe Jakes' DanceCraft training, a multi-tiered program emphasizing fusion belly dance fundamentals and artistic expression. As a performer, I perform with Hydrangea Sky Movement Arts in Cottonwood, showcasing both belly dance and aerial arts.
