When they first reached out to me and asked me if I was interested,
I told them tell me what you need and I’ll be there no questions asked, because it is a cause very close to my heart.

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness month, but every day, every month, every year we lose incredible mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, aunts, friends the list is endless to this cancer. Breast cancer is the second leading cancer in women, exceeded only by lung cancer, that is a horrific reality.
The good news is early detection is key and that is why it is important to perform self breast exams and if we notice anything out of the ordinary to see a Doctor immediately.

A huge shout out to everyone who put so much into this campaign,  my dear friend and genius behind the lens who is Nick Saglimbeni,
Gaby Ramos (make up) Al Ingram (hair) the whole slickforce team, and last but certainly not least the beautiful Lia Shahrebani for putting it all together.

I hope with time and more awareness, these numbers will drop significantly and dare I say we’ll live in a world that will be free of breast cancer and all cancers? Here’s to hoping.

This week was no different as I had to bid a Royal Farewell to Street Kingdom, who fought their way every week, but unfortunately the fight just wasn’t enough this week.
Have some tissue close by, because you may get teary eyed :(

I get so nervous being on the other side! I’m so used to holding the mic :)
Here I am hanging out with Jason Carter from DancePlug.Com

They had no idea Nicki would be showing up to give them their challenges so as you can imagine they  were pleasantly surprised.
Here’s this weeks video of me catching up with the crews before the show :)

I like being in the drivers seat, so letting someone else drive is a new experience for me :)

I had a blast hanging with Chris Trondsen and Bryan from The Boogie Bots, (ABDC Season 2 alumn) on set.
here I am sandwiched between the two as they went easy on me ;)

I was a little slow to get on the Bieber train, but I guess I’m a Bielieber now ;)

Enjoy this weeks ABDC Insider pre-show :D

I really had to fight back the tears this week, especially having spent so much time with the all the crews, and 787 this season.
Not to mention seeing Iconic Boyz come in to say goodbye to them really messed me up, thank goodness I managed to keep it together in front of them.

Here is the elimination video for this week ABDC Ep 5
