People for whom I have a great deal of respect have had some very kind things to say about Dance Advantage and myself. It’s somewhat uncomfortable and definitely humbling to share these generous words with you. However I can think of no better evidence of the reliability of this resource than the expressions of these fine people who are doing wonderful things in the dance community every day. I hope you will read these and be encouraged to discover for yourself the dedication to dance which powers this unique online space.
Dance Instructors and Readers
“Your article helped me put it into perspective for her and gave me tools that allowed her to show her feelings and also look at it from a different angle. She seems to be moving past it and is still interested in dancing in the fall. It also helped that she passed her level in swimming over the weekend, so she got some bad news and some good news! Thanks again! I’m definately going to follow your blog as she continues to dance.”

Collaborators
“Nichelle is a typical dancer: overworked, underpaid, and passionate to her own fault. Truthfully, I was shocked to learn that Dance Advantage is the result of one woman’s work…. one would think that she had a team of writers, editors, and web designers working for her! As a columnist for Dance Advantage and a newbie to the virtual dance community, I have learned so much from her in a short time, and am grateful for the professionalism and personality she brings to the table. Highly, highly recommended!”
Lauren Warnecke, Art Intercepts
“Dance Advantage is an all inclusive dance website with well written blogs, dance links and information for all stages of dance life. I recommend this site highly and I visit it often! You should do the same!”

“Nichelle and I worked together to organize a CD give away contest for dance teachers. From the beginning Nichelle presented a personal and professional approach working with me, and was very helpful in helping promote my business to her fellow colleagues. I highly recommend Nichelle to anyone who wishes to be involved with her website ‘Dance Advantage’ and to share their artistry and talents with her and the large following of artists who are affiliated with her.”
