Erin started dancing at the age of 4 and ever since has dreamed of owning her own dance studio. Growing up she took classes in Jazz, Tap and Ballet taking her BATD examinations every year. She became a teaching assistant at the age of 15 and it wasn’t long until she took her first professional exam. Erin has taken 3 professional BATD exams, in Stage (Modern and Tap), Ballet and Jazz receiving scores in the 90’s for all three. Erin is constantly upgrading her own skills and teaching abilities by attending classes and workshops every year. She has taken classes from Emmy Award winning choreographers Mia Michaels, Tyce Dioro and Wade Robson as well as So You think You Can Dance Canada Winners Nico Archambault and Tara-Jean Popowich, and So You Think You Can Dance US winner Lauren Froderman. She has also attended classes from many other familiar So You Think You Can Dance dancers such as Amy Gardiner, Randi-Lyn Evans, Jayme-Rae Dailey, Lara Smythe, Miles Faber, Lauren Gottlieb, Dominic (D-Trix) Sandoval, Kathryn McKormick, Amanda Cleghorn and Bree Wasylenko. It is Erin’s goal to strive to be the best teacher she can be, and owning Erin’s Dance Club has been a dream come true for her!
