Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I have ranked as a Top Thumbtack Pro continuously since 2017, and I received the award for Best of Thumbtack in 2015 & 2016! Please read my many 5-star reviews to hear from my satisfied clients. I am a dance artist, choreographer, performer, dance educator and dance fitness professional. I have an extensive professional background in many forms of dance, movement and fitness (ballet, modern and contemporary dance,hip hop, jazz dance, ballroom, swing dance, social partner dance, dance fitness, Zumba, yoga, pilates, children and senior dance, flash mobs and choreography). I've been teaching dance and fitness for over 2 decades. I trained at top level schools, as well as performed professionally as a dancer for 3 decades. I've been choreographing for groups, solos and duets for 2 decades. I have a huge passion and enthusiasm for dance, and I love sharing it with my students. I am available for private and group instruction in dance styles including swing dance, ballroom dance, ballet, hip hop, contemporary, jazz, dance fitness and line dancing. I can create exciting choreography tailored to your level (beginners through advanced) for individuals or groups. I create dances for weddings, having worked with over 130 couples on their first dances, as well as father/daughter, mother/son and for the wedding party. I have also created surprise dance flash mobs for various events, and over 75 works for professional dance companies, festivals and performance venues as well as training programs. I also provide professional dance entertainment tailored to your specific event, whether you need flappers performing a Charleston dance for your 1920's theme party, country western dancers doing the 2-step along with line dancing instruction for your barn dance, or 1940's style swing dancers doing the lindy-hop and jitterbug. Adding this kind of live entertainment to your event will make it exciting, engaging for guests and unforgettable!! I love to dance and to inspire the inner dancer that lives in every person. I am totally joyful when dancing, and it is my greatest pleasure to spark that joy in others. I also love seeing the positive transformation that occurs in my clients by working with me. Their confidence, energy and happiness soars. And couples find that their ability to connect and create intimacy and romance blossom by dancing together. It's AWESOME! Erin Parsley Dance + Steps to Love is an inclusive company, celebrating humans in all their expressions (no matter your gender identity, orientation, race, size or abilities) , and adores working with the LGBTQ+ community. I am passionate about sharing the gift of movement through my upbeat, encouraging and fun teaching style. I want you to have a total blast while learning to dance. YES, YOU CAN DANCE!!

Erin is the dance teacher I was waiting for. She provides a comforting yet challenging environment to learn dance in and has transformed not only my dance technique but also how I use my body mindfully to eliminate performance anxiety and own the stage. She is amazing for any styles of dance and is attentive, charismatic, extremely qualified, and has even become a huge role model for me. I came to her with a lot of past insecurities and trauma around not feeling like I was able to dance, and Erin has begun to transform who I thought I was into a confident and skilled dancer and woman. When teaching a movement, she goes in depth into what muscles to engage and what parts to relax as well as how your body should position and support itself so you can dance your best! She also tunes to your needs and wants throughout the lesson and is eager to answer any questions or take time to explain a movement or combination thoroughly. I cannot recommend her more. If you’ve been aching to find a private dance teacher who will bring you a movement revolution, here she is!

Details: 18-25 • One person (one-on-one with instructor) • Ballet • Beginner • Developing a hobby • 60 minutes • As recommended by professional • I travel to the dance instructor

I have had two classes with Erin so far. It's been an absolute delight to work with her! She is super friendly , puts in a lot of effort to understand the needs of her student and work with them based on what they are looking from her class! I wanted to take some private lessons as I am very conscious about dancing in public and being an adult makes it all the more difficult to shed these inhibitions. I learn hip hop currently from her. She has been very encouraging, fun to be around which is helping me build my confidence! She knows a wide range of dance forms and can teach you a mix of them if that's what you are looking for. Totally worth taking lessons from her! Has been a wonderful experience so far :)

Swathi, working with you is a total blast! I love the music you chose, and it's so fun to dance with you while getting you coordinated, out of your head and happily into your body. Yes, you can groove lady!

I just started taking private swing dance lessons with Erin and she is wonderful to work with. She has a great practice space near Forest Hill station, that has a large parking lot as well. I am by no means a naturally gifted dancer, but she is patient and very good at breaking down the steps and explaining them in ways that I can understand. I am so excited to continue working with here!

Hannah, it’s been such a pleasure being a part of your surprise lessons for Jared, and now getting to work with both of you! Lucky me. :) Erin
