Phenomenal performance

Nicole gave a phenomenal performance and she took the time to teach the residents how to dance in their wheelchairs or chairs. She had a great variety of props to use for belly dancing, which kept the residents entertained. She also made time to allow the residents to ask questions about belly dancing. She was very informative. She also allowed the residents to take photos with her. She’s very patient, kind, and gentle. I would highly recommend her!
