FOUNDING ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

"Everything that I saw was everything that I felt.”

— Michael Nickerson-Rossi,

recalling the dance performance that changed his path.

After losing both parents as a young man, Michael discovered in dance a way to express what words could not. He founded Nickerson-Rossi Dance to create that possibility for others,

First through performance, and now through education and community programs across the Coachella Valley.
