Wolcott gives a vigorous class combining the virtuosity of classical technique and the release of post-modern dance with Wolcott’s own dramatic idiosyncrasies. The result is a quirky but highly athletic aesthetic that one student describes as, “Punk rock/release-based modern dance.”

Class begins with a guided improvisation employing sensory awareness,  curiosity and our passion for movement, or the "J.O.D." (joy of dance), to gain a fresh perspective on our bodies in motion. We will approach the rest of class from this perspective, using exercises that focus on strength training, flexibility and teaching the mind and body to work smarter, not harder. By exploring the physics of body weight through drops, catches, and turns, students may develop a technique that is both dynamic and nuanced. Phrase work includes gesture, patterns of flight and fall, inversion and consideration for performance. Material for this class is drawn from various techniques and movement styles including Limon, hip-hop, gaga, ballet and pop culture.

Student Testimonials

I have been an active participant of Nicole Wolcott class for nearly a year. I feel that Nicole is able to meet and connect with each student in her class, regardless of their technique level. Speaking both as intermediate dancer as well as a dance/movement therapist, Nicole engages my curiosity through her dynamic range of movement qualities and inspiring music choices. Nicole's classes are structured on a solid basis of technique that allows you to then dance on your edge.

Nicole Wolcott is a master teacher in every sense of the word. She has impeccable training in numerous fields, and brings that knowledge to every class to further facilitates her students' understanding. Her classes are fun and incredibly energetic, while still being first and foremost about the growth and positive experience of her students.
