ERICA GORDON (Instructor – Dacula Studio )
Erica was born and raised in Lawrenceville, Georgia. Her passion for dance began at a very young age. After dancing around the house soon after she could walk, her parents finally decided to put her in Buford School of Ballet at the age of three. She then moved to a different studio at the age of 10 where she continued to dance and learn Ballet, Hip-hop, and Lyrical. Along with her studio classes Erica also took a Worship dance class that was offered at her school from 8th– 12th grade where she was able to perform in twice a year. Erica also took private voice and guitar lessons all throughout middle and high school years. This helped her understand the meaning behind the music. Erica is currently attending Gwinnett Technical College where she is majoring in Early Childhood Education. She hopes she will be able to teach her students the beauty of dance and have a passion for it just as much as she does.
