“My son is 4.5yrs old and attended Erica’s dance class for kids. It is a wonderful hour of time that he could be outside with nature and enjoy learning new ways to express himself. He had recently received some bullying at school for his style of dancing but through the confidence he has gained in Erica’s class he is holding his head high and is showing his new moves off where ever he can. As a mom, I couldn’t be happier knowing my kid feels comfortable in his own skin. Thanks Erica Pinigis.”

“Isthmus Dance Collective hosted an outdoor summer series that was lovely. My 7 yr old daughter and her friends absolutely loved it! Erica is very warm and welcoming. She made the space comfortable for those newer to dance and yet the space would also be wonderful for those with more experience. It was a great first experience with IDC and I can highly recommend.”

“Erica could not have been a more patient and resourceful instructor all while under the extremely challenging conditions of Zoom teaching dance to a 7 year old. She stays rooted in her dancing principles while keeping dance fun and expressive. Whether it’s been one-on-one or in a group setting, Erica has been—and continues to be— a fantastic instructor we feel grateful to have been the one to introduce instructional dance to our young dancer! Can’t recommend highly enough!!“
