About

Hi, I’m Nicholas Pauley, a UCLA graduate in World Arts and Cultures/Dance with a Minor in Film/TV. I’ve built a career as a commercial dancer and choreographer, collaborating with artists from Doja Cat to Katy Perry, and performing at Coachella and in productions abroad, including a Dance Magic show in Hong Kong. I bring energy, precision, and a collaborative mindset to every project.

Beyond performance, I teach dance (Commercial Hip Hop), create choreography for groups and productions, and have experience as a substitute teacher and program facilitator at camps and schools. I’m passionate about shaping memorable performances and helping others grow their craft across dance, education, and media production.
