  Nicolle Ament

  Instructor

  Nicolle recently moved to Oklahoma City! From Montana, she grew up in the dance world since the age of four. Being a a teacher by nature, she started assisting in classes at the age of 12 and teaching her own classes at 17. While attending the University of Montana where she earned a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts in Dance with an emphasis in Choreography, Performance and Teaching, she was introduced to mat Pilates and fell in love. Nicolle has a passion for teaching and helping students and clients reach their goals. In 2004 she opened her own dance school with a focus on quality dance training, technique, artistic expression and creative story telling through dance. In the spring of 2016 Nicolle made the change from studio owner to ‘dance instructor nomad’ sharing her knowledge and love of dance with area dancers, local dance schools and theater companies. This also gave her the opportunity to take on new training ventures in the fitness and nutrition world. During that time she gained certifications in UltraBarre and Progressive Ballet Technique, both of which have foundations based off the Pilates method. Nicolle was also a choreographer and dancing member of Billings’ first Adult Dance Company, Terpsichore Dance Company. (The oldest member!) Before moving to Oklahoma City she trained with and was an instructor with BODYROK Pilates. Nicolle is very excited to share her passion and knowledge with Club Pilates and CP members! Look for her on the schedule and check out her classes!
