Erin Brese is a dancer from Edmonton, Alberta Canada. Erin took her first dance class when she was just 5 years old at Dance Unlimited. Every week she looked forward to slipping on her ballet shoes and getting her body moving! She continued to dance recreationally up until Junior High when she then decided to pursue dance at a competitive level at Edmonton Dance Factory. Erin was fortunate to partake in numerous dance competitions in Western Canada while studying jazz, ballet, lyrical, and musical theatre. Throughout this time Erin fell in love with the discipline of ballet and began to devote her time and focus to the practice of ballet. Erin auditioned for Dance Discovery’s competitive performance group at the age of 16 and successfully landed a spot in their ballet performance group. In her first year of University, she took ballroom dance classes which opened up a whole new area of interest!
Erin has recently returned from the sunny state of California where she completed her Masters of Science in Child Life as she works to become a Certified Child Life Specialist. Erin has been an active member of the Stollery Children's Hospital in the department of Patient and Family Centred Care. Erin holds experience volunteering at Children’s Hospital of Orange County in numerous programs; one being Disney’s Turtle Talk with Crush!
Erin recently became certified through the Mindful Living Institute with a certification in ‘Mindfulness and Movement for Children and Adolescents’.
When Erin isn't dancing, she loves to travel, go to Disneyland, spend time with her family and friends...furry friends too, and work on her health blog! Erin is very excited to be an instructor at J'Adore, as she enters her 6th season with the J'Adore Faculty. She is excited to continue to spread her love of dance while working with children.
