Andrea Nicosia-Maines
Dance Instructor
As a lifelong dancer, Miss Andrea couldn’t be happier to spread the joy of dance to the next generation.
Beginning at the age of 6, Miss Andie danced at various studios in her hometown of Amsterdam, NY, including 3 years of competition dance in hip hop, lyrical, and jazz. Her love of choreography and performance led to 4 years as a majorette for the Amsterdam Marching Rams kickline team in high school, captaining the squad for 2 years. She danced with the Brockport Dance Team in college, and enjoyed stints on semi-professional dance teams including the Amsterdam Zephyrs, Amsterdam Vibe Dance Team, Albany Conquest "Treasures" Dance Team, and Rochester Rhinos.
A perpetual student herself, Miss Andie has also taken dance workshops at Broadway Dance Studio, and with the Radio City Rockettes, Misha Gabriel, and Ivan Koumaev.
When she’s not in the studio, Andie’s putting her Doctorate of Physical Therapy to work helping others find movement at The Arc Wayne. In her off time, you can find her listening to Taylor Swift (yup, she’s in the top 5% of T Swift listeners on Spotify!), reading books in her pink-themed living room surrounded by her 4-legged friends, bingeing shows on Netflix, or rounding up countless veggies from her garden.
