Nicole Langi believes that the most important relationship a child will ever have is the one they build with themselves. As the creator of Dance Embodiment and The Storyteller’s Method, she uses movement and story to help children notice what is happening within them—without judging it, fixing it, or becoming defined by it.​

 

For more than twenty years, Nicole has worked as a professional dancer and educator, including teaching on the faculty of the Texas Ballet Theater School and performing with organizations such as the Utah Opera. Along the way, she noticed how quickly children learn to perform, please, and “keep up”—often long before they learn how to understand themselves.

 

Through her books, stories, and audio experiences, Nicole introduces children to the filters through which they experience life: sensations, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs. Her work gives children and the adults who love them a simple language for noticing what is happening inside.​

Because a child can have a thought without being the thought. They can feel an emotion without becoming the emotion. And they can experience a difficult moment without allowing that moment to become the story of who they are.

 

Nicole’s work helps the next generation build a strong internal foundation—one rooted in curiosity rather than judgment—and stay connected to who they are before the world tells them who to be.​

 

Nicole lives in Texas with her family.
