Why Choose D2D?
We combine expert instruction with genuine encouragement, giving young dancers the platform to grow, improve and thrive.
Nikki began dancing at the age of 4, then trained as a semi-student at Laine Theatre Arts and later became a full-time musical theatre student, earning her diploma with honours.
She made her West End debut at 21, performing in Grease at the Victoria Palace Theatre, going on to enjoy a career in the West End and touring with shows across the globe for over nine years.
After hanging up her performing shoes, she found a passion for teaching and passing on her love of dance to children. Not only does Nikki have D2D, but she also works for independent Ballet Schools, Irish Dance Schools and Theatre Schools across London. She is also a dance adjudicator for the World Lyrical Dance Federation.
