Nicole Ruddick

Founder

Hi, I’m Nicole Ruddick — dancer, teacher, show-runner, and proud founder of Team Awesome and Feel the Party.

Born in Transylvania, I started my journey in business and banking, building a career that looked great on paper. But my heart pulled me to the dance floor. In 2009, I started Feel the Party as a hobby working with dancers with special abilities — and never looked back.

What began as one small class has grown into a global community. Team Awesome now reaches dancers of all ages and abilities through live and virtual programs, all built on inclusion, purpose, and joy.

This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about connection, support, and showing up for each other.
And I believe in Team Awesome with my whole heart.

When I’m not dancing, I love reading, meditating, and traveling.

Our Mission

         To create a safe, joyful, and inclusive dance space where neurologically diverse dancers feel supported, celebrated, and empowered to shine.

           We believe every body deserves a chance to dance — and that the power of movement can unlock confidence, community, and joy in every student.

Why We Dance

                We dance to connect. We dance to belong. We dance to feel free.

                Every step taken at Team Awesome is a step toward joy, growth, and being seen. No matter where you're starting from, you're already awesome.
