With an everlasting passion for all things movement, Nikita has been dancing from the day she could stand. With over 20 years of experience in the world of commercial dance and full-time training in contemporary, Nikita now enjoys hybridising her newfound passions to perform as a resident artist with INFERNO; ‘Australia’s Hottest Fire Show’. She also has over 8 years teaching experience in many dance styles including acrobatics, classical ballet, contemporary and jazz.
She began her pole dancing journey at The Pole Boutique at the start of 2023 where she uncovered an adoration for the pole world – and more specifically, heels! Nikita loves seeing her students gain confidence as they progress and improve in their training and always makes it her first priority to see everyone leave the room smiling.
