Nicola Paine 1989-2025

Nicola danced with South West Dance Theatre from 2015 and joined the board of directors in 2017. She helped in all manner of ways behind the scenes and produced some wonderful choreography. A stunning ballet and contemporary dancer and dazzling tapper, Nicola was also a beautiful soul and cherished friend.

Nicola sadly died in November 2025. She leaves a gaping hole in our hearts. 

Thank you for everything, Nicola.

With much love from all at South West Dance Theatre
