Walter Nicks is a legendary teacher of jazz, Dunham technique, and modern dance. Students--from those in the National Endowment for the Arts Artists-in-Schools Program (where Nicks taught for ten years) to his recent four years at the famous German Folkwang Hochschule, and across the country in studios and institutions--remember his classes as inspiring and exciting. "High energy" along with patience, he insists, are key elements in his approach. After decades in the field, Nicks continues to impart this message in his role as a guest teacher in demand around the world.
