Welcome to my blog!
Hi friends, and welcome to the official blog for That Crazy Dance Mom!
I’m Nichole… and somewhere along the way I got both officially and unofficially crowned with the title “That Crazy Dance Mom.” Honestly, it fits. I’ve always been the type to give 110% to whatever I’m doing. Relay For Life? All in. Running a marathon every month? Why not. And when my daughter started dance… well, let’s just say my “crazy” found a whole new home.
Rachel has been dancing practically since before she was born (yes, I was that mom). The second I could, I signed her up for classes. What started as a fun recreational activity quickly snowballed. By first grade she was on her first mini team, and from there, it became a way of life. Now she’s in high school, in the final stretch of her “kid” dance years, and it’s been incredible watching her grow into not just a dancer, but also a teacher and choreographer in the making.
So why did I start TCDM? When I was a brand-new dance mom, I was completely clueless. I remember feeling lost and overwhelmed, and I promised myself I’d never let another parent feel that way if I could help it. I wanted to create a safe, supportive space where people could laugh, find answers, and know they weren’t alone in this crazy dance world.
It actually started as an outlet for my comedy skits and memes (because if you don’t laugh through this life, you’ll cry in the parking lot). But over time, it’s grown into something so much bigger. What began as silly fun on TikTok and Instagram has turned into a real community—tens of thousands of people sharing in the humor, chaos, and heart of competitive dance life.
This blog is the next step. Here’s what you can expect:
✨ Resources and information to help you navigate the dance parent world (from costumes to competitions and everything in between)
✨ Honest blogs about the wins, fails, and “what just happened?!” moments of being a dance mom
✨ Vlogs, behind-the-scenes stories, and of course—plenty of memes and funnies
Most importantly, this is a community space. I want to hear from you. Share your own stories, leave a comment, and let me know what kinds of blogs you’d love to see here. Because if I’ve learned anything on this journey, it’s that none of us are truly in this alone.
Thanks for stopping by—let’s make this a space where we can laugh, learn, and lift each other up through all things dance.
💙 Nichole
