"Nicole attended the Youth Performing Arts School in Louisville for high school. From their website, in order to be accepted one must audition, including: "Applicants should come to the audition prepared to participate in a short contemporary dance class/audition. ... Applicants are evaluated on their acting, singing, and dancing abilities."
Once accepted, the program itself states: "The four-year Musical Theatre major is designed to prepare those students who aspire to enter a university or conservatory program that emphasizes versatility in the multiple performance disciplines of dance, acting, and singing. During the course of their four years, students study with the faculty of the Dance, Theatre, and Vocal Departments in an integrated and sequenced curriculum (listed below). In Dance, they study Ballet, Jazz, Modern, Folk, and Theatre Dance with a strong emphasis on American Tap dance."
Apparently she then went on to study musical theatre at Wright State University (she apparently didn't graduate, so I don't know how many years she studied there), in which program students in the first year study body movement, ballet & jazz; 2nd year: ballet, tap; 3rd year: theatre dance styles; 4th year: dance elective."
That's all I got for today
