Erika Jacobsen Dance

I always leave Erika’s lessons feeling seen and supported. She perfectly blends her deep technical dance and teaching background with her experience in mental health counseling to create the perfect atmosphere for growth. Working with Erika, I am treated with such care as a dancer and, more importantly, as human being. For example, when I feel awkward or uncomfortable with a move, she helps me work through why those feelings are popping up for me. She helps me work through the mental blocks and the technique to make the moves work with my body. Cannot recommend Erika highly enough!

Erika’s teaching is what made me fall in love with dance even more. Throughout our time together, she has been compassionate, encouraging, and patient with me. Erika helped me grow as a dancer while also meeting me where I was at and not forcing me to do things I found uncomfortable or painful. The choreography she comes up with for her students is created with their experience and skills in mind. When I got a knee injury earlier this year, Erika was very kind and looked out for me as we continued to dance together. I strongly recommend Erika as a dance teacher!
