Giving students, teachers, and parents an edge in dance education
Nichelle Strzepek began Dance Advantage in 2008, equipped with little more than passion for movement education, curiosity, and an intuitive sense that the Internet could bring dancers together. She has written about 100,000 words on dance and dance training each year of its existence. Nichelle holds a BA in dance and is an instructor with more than 16 years experience. She continues to perform as a contemporary dance artist, covers dance in the Houston area as a freelance writer and critic, and balances daily life as a full-time mom of two young children.
