Nichelle Strzepek

Hi there! I ‘m Nichelle Strzepek


Dance has been near or at the core of my life for as long as I can remember. As much a constant as those relatives I didn’t choose! And as a career path, dance has been like a diamond into which I just keep cutting new facets.


If you are looking for stats, I’ve been pursuing dance for over 25 years. I have performed during those years with modern/contemporary companies in Pennsylvania and Texas, and I’ve been a dance teacher for more than 16 years. I’ve poured out my experience and passion for dance in private studios, community programs, at a public university, and continue to do so as the creator, writer, and editor of DanceAdvantage.net. Writer has been my latest cut in the gem, and in addition to Dance Advantage, I cover dance in Houston, TX (where I live with my husband and young son) and pen.


Nichelle Strzepek holds a B.A. in Dance from Slippery Rock University, has taught and performed professionally for over 16 years and has danced nearly all of her life. In 2008 Nichelle launched DanceAdvantage.net, single-handedly operating, editing, and producing content for the popular dance education website. In addition, she covers Houston dance with news and reviews for Dance Source Houston and regularly pens dance articles for other blogs and arts resources online.
