We are excited to announce a new Nikolay Influencer for @nikolayorlando

Michaela Cook is a pre-professional ballet student training at the Orlando Ballet School. With a strong foundation in classical ballet and contemporary dance, Michaela has honed her skills through performances and intensive training across reputable programs. She has been cast and featured in roles for productions such as The Nutcracker, presented by the Orlando Ballet, and A Christmas Nutcracker Tale, presented by the Central Florida Ballet. Michaela has also performed at the Orlando Ballet’s Spring Showcase and STEPS, an educational outreach program at the Orlando Ballet School.

In 2024, Michaela was selected to represent the school at the Universal Ballet Competition, where she was awarded top ten for both classical and contemporary solos. Her training includes programs with renowned institutions such as The Ailey School, Miami City Ballet, and Joffrey Ballet San Francisco, where she has participated in summer intensives focusing on classical ballet, modern, and contemporary styles. In addition to her dance achievements, Michaela is a skilled pianist, straight-A student, National Junior Honor Society officer, and Girl Scout Cadette. Michaela’s goal is to dance with a professional company and inspire others through the arts. She thanks Nikolay for creating amazing products to support the dance community.

What a great way to end summer training at @duncancooperworkshops 🤍💫

Leaving this experience full of gratitude. It was so inspiring being surrounded by such talented individuals. I enjoyed learning from all of the wonderful guest artists who pushed me out of my comfort zone.

Thank you @duncancooper70 for your words of encouragement and support. It means the world to me. ♥️

And a special thank you to @iliana.lopez9 @franklinrafaelgamero @gulfshoreballetfortmyers for awarding me with a scholarship for a short-term stay. I’m so excited and grateful for the opportunity. 🌟
