Last Chance to Dance- Nicole
Nicole is at university studying criminology but she spent her entire youth training to be a professional dancer. Her lifelong dream disappeared overnight after she contracted West Nile Meningitis, which sent her into a depression and she turned to food for comfort. She misses dance terribly, but feels so self-conscious she won’t even take a hip-hop class with her cousin Stacey, a talented and slim dancer who insists that Nicole was always the star.
Her weight is also affecting her relationships. Her mother is disappointed that Nicole has given up on her dream. Nicole feels uncomfortable in front of her boyfriend, despite his insistence that her weight doesn’t matter. Nicole wants to get her body back so she can dance again, and audition for the Raptors Dance Pak, a pro-cheerleading team.
Nicole has the moves alright, but she’ll need energy and the kind of body that exudes sexy glamour to have a chance at the team. However, at university, unhealthy food choices are easier to find than healthy ones, and on the 4-hour commute back home every weekend Nicole relies on drive-through to keep her happy.
