Nicole O'Neill

Nicole O'Neill hails from Wester Hailes, Edinburgh, and embarked on her dance journey at the tender age of two. Her talent was recognized early on, and in 1999, at just 12 years old, she made history as the sole Scottish girl to gain admission to the esteemed Royal Ballet School.

During her time as a student, Nicole's exceptional skills earned her a spot on an international tour with the Royal Ballet in 2005, where she showcased her talent in Japan, Malaysia, and South Korea. Additionally, that same year, she was one of only two students chosen to attend a prestigious Summer School of Excellence at the American Academy of Ballet in New York.

The Royal Ballet School's final report on Nicole highlighted her versatility, stating, “She is equally capable in classical, contemporary and dramatic works and has also produced many impressive choreographic works herself.” She completed her training at the Royal Ballet School in 2006.

Transitioning into the world of acting, Nicole has made a name for herself in film and television. She has appeared in notable projects including "Red Sparrow" (2018), "Penny Dreadful" (2014), and Disney's "Cruella" (2021), showcasing her diverse talents and solidifying her position in the entertainment industry.
