Erica Courtemanche is from Rhode Island and started dancing when she was three years old. She graduated from Plymouth State University with a bachelor’s degree in Small Business Entrepreneurship and a minor in Dance Pedagogy, with plans to open her own dance studio.
In college, Erica had the opportunity to work with professional choreographers, such as Betsi Graves, Jesse Robb, and Helen Simoneau and performed some of their works after intensive training. She also was a member of the Contemporary Dance Ensemble and was captain and treasurer of the dance team.
Since college, she has devoted seven years of teaching dance to children of all ages, and she has performed in various settings throughout New England as a dancer with Alchemy Movement. She has also attended the NYC Dance Teacher Summit, the Rhee Gold Dance Teacher Life Conference, and became certified as an Acrobatic Arts teacher. Before opening her dance studio, she created and directed “Miss Erica’s 2022 Summer Dance Camps” with 10 different camp programs in Bridgewater MA.
Erica is very passionate about teaching dance to children and watching her students grow. She believes everyone should have a chance to dance and be able to express themselves through movement. Erica was very excited to open Revive Dance Studio in August of 2022 and make her dreams come true with all her students!
