"It became a part of my lifestyle which ignited my passion to keep sharing my art with others without the pursuit of riches. Only for the love of it. On many occasions I walked away from dance to pursue sports as a teen but stayed attached & danced heavy in the Club and underground streetdance scene in Los Angeles. With some of the dance industry's best and streetdance legends. The dance community in Los Angeles was then and still today, as strong and vibrant as was when I was young. When I moved to OKC in 2011 I saw the city lacked the same entertainment I was use to participating in although I came here to continue a career as a Non Destructive Testing Technician (Xray Technician). I became friends with local streetdancers, the Linked church and Breakthough HipHop which connected me to many underprivileged children and adults seeking refuge in the same art form but were lacking resources / connections to the dance world. The Groovemeant Community was then created." The Groovemeant Community is a streetdancer's alliance / movement created to connect the amazing street talent in our city to the neighboring professional dance and OKC community. The objective has been to gather as many of our underprivileged inner city youth and beyond, plus young adults and offer them FREE high quality streetdance workshops (based off the principle of hip hop and streetdance styles), free movement / control classes plus guidance to connect and pursue their personal dance dream. An opportunity they may have not had accessible, physically or financially on their own. Although workshops are channeled through accessible studios and dance locations around the city, our home of choice is the Sonic Amphitheater stage on the Bricktown canal in Bricktown OKC. The mecca for okc street performers. 11years ago Team Swoosh / OKC Dellt started performing on that amazing stage and 91/2 years to date, the Groovemeant has helped keep it consistent, while producing some of the largest crowds seen on the famous canal. Groovemeant kidz is our mentorship program that focuses solely on developing young children to compete and showcase on many platforms. From paid gigs to music videos or working as dancers / entertainers for great organizations like the Oklahoma City Thunder. This streetdance culture is my passion. The Groovemeant community has done work or performed for the following. -Weokie Federal Credit Union (Social Media Commercial) -UCO School of Business (Student recruitment Video) -2014 & 2015 Langston University Women's Basketball Homecoming halftime show -OKC Public Schools (After Schools Program showcase and performances) -OKC Police Department Annual Basketball Youth program -2017 - 2019 Destined To Dance Awards winners and performers -2018 - 2019 Plush Fashion Showcase. performance for Suicide prevention -Featured on KFOR - RISE AND SHINE "Adventures with Ashley" -Full story and Interview with Cecilia Hernandez-Cromwell (Telemundo Oklahoma) Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theGroovemeantCommunity/?ref=share https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf7666d7819e71077c69cc/1598882649581-OYAP2EK5BU2A8KDXV1KQ/YAH_BANNER5.jpg You Are Here https://www.nicolepoole.com/coaching daily 0.75 2021-05-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ccf7666d7819e71077c69cc/1617110851132-UFEG6AIBX5TY4H3U8Y8C/Artspace+Panel.jpg Coaching
