Frederick Nicolas
Gymnastics Coach & Professional Performer
About
As a former member of the French national gymnastics team, I competed at the highest international levels, including the Olympic Games and World Championships. My passion for acrobatics led me to the stage, where I performed in two major productions: Le Rêve with Franco Dragone and Cirque du Soleil's Viva Elvis. Leveraging my high-performance background, I prioritize resilience, discipline, and continuous growth.
My approach fosters collaboration in a structured environment, empowering artists and teams to reach their full potential.
