Nicolle Klinkeberg studied musicology at the University of Utrecht. During her studies she discovered her passion for dance. Along with an intense study of various styles, including modern dance, she earned a diploma in Utrecht in international folk dance in 2003. Her teachers include, among others, Wijnand Karel, Jan Knoppers, Sibylle Helmer and Bianca de Jong. From 2003-07 she instructed Garoon, a folk dance group in Ede (Netherlands). From 2005-08 she was a member of the Dutch ensemble Piet Hein, which combined traditional Dutch folk dancing with modern elements, creating a new look for Dutch folk dance on stage. Dances from the Balkan countries, southern Europe and Israel are the focal point of her folk-dance programme.

In addition to international folk dance she devotes much of her time to historical dance. Her teachers include, among others, Lieven Baert, Dorothée Wortelboer, Markus Lehner and Sigrid T’Hooft. She has also attended seminars with Béatrice Massin, Ana Yepes, Kaj Sylegård and others. In 1999 she began teaching historical dance, especially Renaissance and Baroque dance. Since the autumn of 2007 she has been teaching dance to the members of Les Plaisirs – Münchner Kreis für historische Tänze (Munich Circle for Historical Dancing). In September 2010 she became the teacher of the Munich dancing group Tanz durch die Jahrhunderte (Dance through the Ages).

As a dancer she has performed in productions with Lieven Baert and Dorothée Wortelboer. Since 2007 she has been a member of Corpo Barocco led by Sigrid T’Hooft.

She has also appeared on stage with her own choreography of dance productions. In Östlich der Sonne, westlich des Mondes (East of the Sun, West of the Moon; 2004) and Still-leben-bewegt (Still Life in Motion; 2007) she brought her particular interest to the fore: the creative interweaving of various dancing styles.
