Hi! I'm Erika, and I'm a Lindy Hop, Jazz, and West Coast Swing dancer from New York City, newly based in Long Beach, CA. I've spent the past 10 years traveling to more than 150 swing dance events around the US and Canada, training with champion dancers to bring back the best tools to help you quickly learn and feel comfortable in your own skin. I've taught group lessons regionally around the Southeast, the Northeast in Boston, and in New York City with Brooklyn Swings and at the Horizon's School of Technology. I've also taught wedding dance lessons, helping couples find their groove together and fully express themselves on the best day of their lives to their favorite song and impress everyone. In my spare time I coach a leadership program, helping six amazing individuals make a difference in areas of life that matter most to them. I combine my work as a coach with my dance knowledge to help new dancers have quick breakthroughs, see things in new ways and do things they may have never thought were possible. I'll provide you with simple, targeted exercises you can practice by yourself or next to your partner at home to develop awareness in the muscles that will support you in dance...and well...life in general.

I had the privilege of receiving weekly swing dance lessons from Erika for several months. Her lessons struck a good balance between detailed instruction, clear demonstration, and thorough practice. A lot of my past instructors would focus on a canned set of specific dance steps. However, Erica taught me not only the swing dance basics but also the musicality and improvisation that make up the foundation of swing dancing. That additional education has enabled me to begin my own journey to figure out my own dance style. If you are looking for your own dance style, then Erika is the best teacher you could ask for.
