Nicole's Broadway Dance Company Moves In To Madison

MADISON, NJ - After almost three decades of experience turning beginners into accomplished performers, Nicole's Broadway Dance Company (NBDC) has tapped its way from East Hanover to a second location at 32 Main Street in Madison.

According to Nicole Hosbach the studio offers classes in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theater, Hip Hop, Acro and more. The studio caters to both boys and girls looking to dance and private classes are also available.

Hosbach has been dancing since the age of two and has studied all aspects of dance. She has a degree in Dance Education from the University of Miami and holds a degree in the Teaching of Dance from Western Kentucky University.

According to the studio's website she started her performing career with the New Jersey Nets. She was the Director and Choreographer, as well as being a dancer for nine years. She then became a dancer for the New York Knicks City Dancers. She was the Director and dancer for the New Jersey Rockin’ Rollers roller hockey team. She has danced and performed in many music videos. Nicole was an assistant choreographer for the 1998 Orange Bowl Parade.

She was a featured dancer in the “Fisher King” starring Robin Williams. She choreographed and danced the “George of the Jungle” Fox TV cartoon with Savion Glover. Her TV credits include “USA Up All Night” with Gilbert Gottfried, “NBA Inside Stuff,” HBOs “Comedy Central,” MTVs “Lip Service“ and “The Joe Franklin Show” to name a few. She was also a regular guest of “Imus in the Morning” for five years.

Hosbach said while she loves performing her greatest achievement is the level of professionalism of her teaching staff, the talent level of all the students, as well as having the #1 dance studio in Morris County.

Former student and current instructor Melissa DeSalvo said NBDC has been her second home for 25 years and counting.

"I started as a student at three-years-old and grew up learning from some of the best teachers. NBDC has given me so much more than dance lessons, though- it helped me develop self-confidence, taught me how to work hard and practice time management, taught me how to be a good teammate, gave me a great group of friends, gave me a place to feel like I can be myself, and today, it has given me students of my own," DeSalvo said. "NBDC is more than just a dance studio it is a family and I am lucky to be part of it. It truly helped shape me into the person I am today."
