My name is Nikkii Mclusky, I am the founder of FreeSpirit Dance Company, our Artistic Director is Libby Battaglia, renowed dancer and teacher and the company is in association with her school: The Libby Battaglia School of Performing Arts. I have recently graduated with a BA(Hons) Degree in Dance specialising in release technique and choreography.

I am a Dance and Drama student at Lincoln University, and would love to go into teaching dance and drama or dance and drama therapy.Being a part of 'Fade to Black' has given me so much more confidence in my dancing ability, and has definately opened my view about working as a performer because I Loved every minute of it!
Nikki had been an inspiration and given me a insight into different choreographic devises. Which i believe has improved my choreography. THANKS!!!

I am a dance student at the University of Lincoln. I have danced for many years before coming to Lincoln to continue my studies. I am very much a contemporary based dancer and I wish to develop my choreography skills further in the future.Performing in 'Fade to Black' offered me a lot of experience as a dancer and a performer. It got me thinking outside the box and the hard work produced amazing results.
By working with FreeSpirit Dance Company, it constantly pushed me to the next level, and i feel because of this I am ever improving.

I am a 2nd year dance student at the University of Lincoln and i have been fortunate enough to partake in two of the FreeSpirit Dance Company productions. The most recent was that of 'Fade to Black' - a dark tale portrayed through a brilliant and inspiring whirlwind of choreographic devices. This specific performance was choreographed by Nikki Mclusky. Through working with the company over the past two years I feel i have grown as an individual and most importantly as a Dancer. The Company are encouraging and literally 'Free Spirited'. It has truly been an honor to work with Nikki over the past two years and I would do anything to have the opportunity to work with her Company again.
