After deciding that she wanted to pursue dance as a career she attended Point Park University for three and a half years and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Dance. She performed in several different showcase pieces during her time at PPU under the direction of Broadway famous Ron Tassone, internationally acclaimed dancer Nicholas Petrov and Radio City Rockette Heather Goelz-Carpenter.
Right out of college Nikki landed her first job with Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines where she performed on the Quantum of the Seas for 6 months then on the Ovation of the Seas for 9 months. While performing nearly 350 shows in the unique techno savvy venue Two70, she was able to travel all over China, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Taiwan, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia. Nikki was also given the leadership role of dance captain and aerial coordinator on the Ovation of the Seas where her primary role was to maintain the integrity of the show and to monitor the safety of all performers.
