Nicole Clarke Springer began formal training under the guidance of Claudette Soltis (Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo and Joliet Ballet Society) and the Indianapolis Ballet Theatre under Dace Diodonis. After graduating from Butler University, Clarke-Springer found her dance home within the Deeply Rooted Dance Theater family, performing with Roberta Flack in Kevin Iega Jeff’s Flack, as well as Jennifer Holiday in the world-renowned Penumbra Theatre’s Black Nativity.
In 2013, Mama Nicole joined Kevin Iega Jeff and Gary Abbott as a member of the Deeply Rooted Artistic Team, later traveling with DRDT to participate in JOMBA! Dance Festival hosted by Flatfoot Dance Company. Mama Nicole has since choreographed for the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Show, and she continues to teach and choreograph throughout the country, including at Chicago State University, Western Kentucky University, and Northwestern University.
Crediting DRDT’s mission, Mama Nicole works to create an environment where artists participate in a process that is not only spiritually affirming but requires open and honest dialogue that leads to self-reflection, constructive feedback, and accountability to the work required.
We are SO EXCITED for this workshop. Space is limited, so register today! Visit: danceafricachicago.org/workshops
