About
Since 2017, I have consistently been ranked as a Top CrackerJack Pro and was honored with the Best of CrackerJack award in both 2015 and 2016. Check out my numerous 5-star client reviews to hear firsthand how satisfied they are with my services.

As a multifaceted dance artist and educator, I possess a wealth of experience in a diverse range of dance forms such as ballet, modern and contemporary dance, hip hop, jazz dance, ballroom, swing dance, social partner dance, dance fitness, Zumba, yoga, pilates, children and senior dance, flash mobs and choreography. With over two decades of teaching and choreographing experience, I have trained and performed professionally in many top-level schools.

I offer private and group instruction for diverse dance styles like swing dance, ballroom dance, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, dance fitness, and line dancing. I create thrilling choreography personalized to suit various levels from beginners to advanced dancers. Specializing in weddings, I have successfully choreographed over 130 couples for their first dances, along with father/daughter, mother/son, and wedding party dances. I have also crafted surprise dance flash mobs for multiple events and worked on more than 75 productions for professional dance companies, festivals, performance venues, and training programs.

For your specific events, I provide professional dance entertainment, making the experience unforgettable, engaging, and exciting for guests. Whether you need flappers performing a Charleston dance for your 1920's theme party, country western dancers doing the 2-step along with line dancing instruction for your barn dance, or 1940's style swing dancers doing the lindy-hop and jitterbug, I have got you covered.

I believe every person possesses an inner dancer waiting to take center stage. That's why I approach teaching in an upbeat, encouraging, and fun manner. My goal is to help you enjoy learning to dance regardless of your gender identity, orientation, race, size or abilities. Together, we can create a joyful and transformational experience. Don't believe me? Try it yourself - Yes, you can dance!

Erin played an integral role in our wedding, making our first dance one of the most memorable moments of the day. Working with Erin was an absolute delight - she made it a breeze to create a fully customized first dance that was both comfortable and tailored to our dance abilities. Her lessons were super valuable, and we always looked forward to our next session. It felt like every step brought us closer to the perfect dance that embodied us as a couple. Erin is an absolute pro who listened to all of our ideas and provided valuable insight. She helped us make decisions based on move difficulty, space, location, and guest view. We would gladly work with Erin again for any future dance needs and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for lessons. Our first dance was a highlight of our wedding, and we owe it all to Erin. We couldn't have done it without her invaluable help.

When my fiancé and I decided to book Erin for our first dance at our wedding, we weren't sure what to expect since we had no prior dance experience. However, Erin surpassed all our expectations by making the experience fun and easy for us. During the six classes, Erin was able to create a unique routine that perfectly reflected our individual personalities. Her talent is remarkable and I highly recommend her to anyone interested in taking dance lessons. Erin is patient, attentive to your preferences, and will make the experience special for you. Working with her was one of the highlights of our wedding planning process!

Erin is an exceptional instructor for dancing! With her assistance, I acquired numerous fundamental techniques for partner dancing to perform at a few weddings this month. The routines were executed impeccably, and I intend to pursue further lessons with her!

Erin was a fantastic choreographer and my fiancé and I thoroughly enjoyed working with her to create our first dance routine. While I was initially unsure, having never taken dance lessons before, choosing to work with Erin was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. Her attentiveness, enthusiasm, flexibility, and patience made the experience even more enjoyable. We are beyond pleased with the final routine she helped us create and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for assistance and confidence on the dance floor.
