Vegas is known for its vibrant dance scene, which has produced the likes of breakdance stars the Jabbawockeez, and ballroom dance siblings Derek and Julianne Hough.

In this episode, Nevada Public Radio’s Maicyn Udani chats with local dancer Nicole Yumiaco who, at 17 years old, is well on the path to national success. Yumiaco is part of Desert Companion’s Ones to Watch series, which profiles up-and-coming artists and entertainers in Las Vegas.

Her passion doesn’t keep her from enjoying the journey, wherever it may lead

Maicyn Udani is the Summer 2024 news intern for Nevada Public Radio, working on KNPR's State of Nevada and Desert Companion.
