TESTIMONIALS
I have taken several classes with Erin to hone my shuffling and shaping fundamentals and also to level up and learn new skills, and they have been some of my favourite parts of the journey so far! Classes are intimate and give you a chance to connect with Erin 1:1 a few times throughout so that you can receive tailored feedback to improve your form. The best part? She is SO NICE and fun, and makes you want to go dancing as soon as class is done! It’s a fun and safe space to learn.
I've been shuffling with Erin since August 2023 and I haven't looked back since! Her contagious energy, immense joy, and passion for teaching are just the few reasons why I keep coming back to her shuffle classes. Her classes are welcome to all ages and all experience levels but it was her personality and flare that kept me interested. She explains everything in detail, answers any and all questions with no judgement, and gives advice on technique or execution with no hesitation! Her class is well thought out and planned with drills, combos, different music choices to play with, and step-by-step practice tips that are easy to follow - even for someone without dance experience like myself! If you're interested in the wonderful world of shuffling, don't hesitate to reach out and try one of Erin's classes, I promise you won't regret it! Her classes have given me the confidence to move, create, express, and connect - whatever that looks like for me!
It all started in 2020 when Erin was looking for a way to blow off steam while being stuck at home. Shuffle dancing became an outlet for her energy, a creative focus, and a deep connection to the shuffle community.

Create: Emphasizes freestyle and real-time creation, letting go of perfectionism.
Express: Helps express emotions, feelings, and identity through dance.
Connect: Connects with others, the music, and oneself, providing a universal language of joy.
Beginners can expect a welcoming environment where they can learn the fundamentals of shuffle dancing. The classes focus on movement, creativity, expression, and connection, encouraging students to let go of perfectionism and enjoy the dance.
