She has been teaching, choreographing and performing aerial dance for over 20 years as founding member of Canopy studio in Athens, GA, with her mentor and original director Susan Murphy. In 2007, she co-founded D’AIR Aerial Dance in Atlanta, Georgia. The trapeze is her second home and her true love is for any kind of partner work. When she is not performing in the air, she is likely dancing Salsa, Bachata, Kizomba, Urban Kiz or Zouk, or training in Thai Partner Yoga Massage, Dance Acro and Counterbalancing, Aerial Yoga and Pilates. Nicole is equally passionate about creating as she is about community building. Although D’AIR closed in 2019, Nicole has continued to share her love for aerial dance and partnering techniques with other youth serving organizations. On the side, she is a metalsmith and has her own jewelry line. She is also the Director of Strategy for a private foundation and currently serves on several nonprofit boards.

Separated at birth, these kindred spirits found each other in 2012 and have been inseparable, tossing each other around in the air ever since! Together, Nic and Free draw in audiences with electrifying charisma, lighthearted playfulness and heart-stopping acrobatic feats of skill and strength! Careful, blink your eye and you might not be able to tell them apart, but here’s a hint.... its in the cheekbones! But in all seriousness, beneath the playful overtone, the two can’t separate their art from activism. Whether intentional or not, how they interact as interracial aerial dance partners often makes a statement, as does their feminine strength or being a Black artist breaking stereotypes. Nic and Free strive to be an example of how our differences make us stronger, uplifting each other while celebrating their individual strengths. The two are role models for how to be super humans, beyond stereotypes of gender or race. Beyond working together as a duo act, the two have performed and produced shows as part of an ensemble called D’AIR aerial dance company. Off the stage they love to share their knowledge and have a knack for working with teens. They strive to make aerial dance accessible to all body types and seek to uplift those in underserved communities with opportunities to shine on stage. Available for performances or workshop instruction.
