Who am I?

Nicole Hicks-Wedge

Preschool Music Teacher • Actress/Singer • Vocal/Performance Coach • Burlesque Educator • Choreographer • Emcee/Host

I've been a vibrant part of Spokane’s performing arts scene for over 20 years—as an actor, choreographer, performance coach, singer, and businesswoman. I’ve had the honor of performing with Spokane Children’s Theatre, Onyx Theatre, Spokane Civic Theatre, Ignite and Interplayers Theatre, and I'm forever fueled by the magic of live performance.
After a detour into retail business management and family life, I found myself in Saskatchewan, Canada, where "The Secret" sparked a transformational journey back to the stage. I reconnected with Regina Lyric Musical Theatre, performed in stage shows, and sang with the Lyric Singers choir. Inspired by a Spokane Burlesque show—I jumped into classes and the amazing and inclusive world of Burlesque in Canada and soon founded Sage Lily Burlesque Club, bringing Canadian audiences a taste of empowered, theatrical sparkle. After experiencing my own self-love renaissance, I created my own Beginner’s Burlesque classes focused on body positivity, movement exploration, joyful self-expression and building community.
For the last 5 years I've loved teaching Music Together classes, with a passion for their in-school program. My love for teaching music was a perfect transition into vocal coaching! For two years, I have helped others discover their own brave, bold voices.
Whether teaching littles, empowering adults, or curating a creative community, I strive to bring patience, warmth, structure, and fearless joy to every artistic expression.

Absolutely - and at it's best, burlesque is radically inclusive. It celebrates bodies, voices, identities, and stories of ALL kind. While traditional norms once shaped the scene, modern burlesque has evolved into a vibrant, boundary-breaking artform where people of diverse sizes, backgrounds, genders, abilities, and styles are not only welcomed, but celebrated.In spaces like mine, where empowerment, creativity, and self-expression takes center stage, burlesque becomes a tool for liberation, not just performance. Many students find deep healing and joy in reclaiming their power, re-writing beauty standards, and connecting with others in the community.
