Meet the Teacher: Keara Nichols () 🩰

We’re so excited to welcome Keara Nichols back to the Academy faculty for the 2026–2027 season as a Contemporary teacher for the PPD division.

Originally from Southern California, Keara began her training as a competitive dancer before starting formal ballet training at 13. In 2020, she attended the Prix de Lausanne and received the Grand Prix Award at YAGP.

Keara trained in Colorado Ballet Academy's Pre-Professional Division in 2021 and joined the .ballet Studio Company in 2022. Over two seasons, she performed in "Jekyll & Hyde," "Swan Lake," "Coppélia," "The Nutcracker," and "Cinderella." In 2024, she joined Twin Cities Ballet as a company artist, where she danced leading roles including Elizabeth in "Frankenstein," the Snow Queen and Sugar Plum Fairy in "The Nutcracker," and Juliet in "Romeo & Juliet."

Alongside her performing career, Keara has developed a passion for teaching and choreography. She taught at CBA and choreographed for YAGP from 2022 to 2024, and in 2023 she choreographed a piece for our Choreographic Workshop.

Welcome back, Keara! We can’t wait to see what you bring to our students this season. ✨

Good luck to the dancers of Colorado Ballet Academy taking the stage this weekend! 🩰

We know how much work goes into every performance, because we get to see it up close. The hours in the studio, the strength sessions, the small details nobody in the audience ever notices.

At Proper Fitness, we work with dancers on performance and injury prevention/ rehabilitation training: building the strength, power, and stability that helps you jump higher, land softer, and stay healthy through a long season. Working with dancers is some of our favorite work we do.

We’re grateful for our partnership with Colorado Ballet Academy and Colorado Ballet
We are proud to support the athletes behind the art.

Have a great show! 👏
