About Femme Confidence
Founded in 2015 by Nicole Cole, Femme Confidence began with a humble pop-in twerk class in Amsterdam. Since then, it has evolved into a vibrant brand offering regular dance classes, national and international workshops, girls’ trips abroad, and even its own line of merchandise.
What sets Femme Confidence apart is our commitment to blending self-love and confidence with the art of dance. We nurture a deep connection between the mind, body, and soul, creating a mindful and supportive community. We strongly prioritise providing a safe space at all our events. For this reason, we do not allow teachers to create select groups, and we do our utmost to ensure that everyone feels seen, supported, and welcome during our events and trips.
So far, we have organised over 20 successful dance conventions and two girls’ trips to Spain. In 2026, we are planning plenty of exciting new projects, including soulful girls’ trips to Portugal and Colombia!
About Nicole
My name is Nicole. I was born in Poland and now live in Amsterdam. I am a professional dancer, passionate dance teacher, and self-confidence coach.
Dancing and teaching have been lifelong passions of mine. I started dancing at the age of four, and my journey as a dance teacher began when I was sixteen.
Over the years, I have learned that teaching dance has far more power than simply showing people how to move their bodies. It goes far beyond the physical. Dancing is a form of therapy, a way to reset the mindset and clear the mind. I have witnessed firsthand how my classes boost women’s self-esteem, which inspired me to focus more deeply on this aspect and incorporate confidence-building into my teaching.
Beyond confidence, I am truly passionate about advocating for women’s multidimensionality and breaking the stereotypes that suggest a woman who dances sensually cannot be intelligent, serious, or a good mother. As someone with two bachelor’s degrees, an office job, a homebody personality, roots as an Eastern European housewife, an entrepreneur, and so much more, I love challenging narrow-minded thinking and encouraging other women to do the same.
Trust me, you can shake your ass and still be an intelligent, multifaceted individual.
My dance journey
My first love was acrobatics which I started when I was 4 years old. I competed in female duos and trios. I did it till I was 12 and then due to a heavy wrist injury, I stopped. I joined a cheerleading group and a semi professional modern jazz group, where I got the opportunity to work on my classical training, perform and participate in various competitions. From then I grew as a dancer and explored various dance styles such as heels, dancehall, twerk, and pole dance. For the last 6 years heels and pole dance became my favourites as they allow me to be sensual and feminine but at the same time I can connect with my roots and incorporate my gymnastics and classical background
