Eric has been an internationally known instructor, choreographer and performer for over 15 years. He was the founding artistic director of San Francisco Culture Shock and now co-directs the San Francisco dance group Loose Change. He has choreographed for a number of dance groups, performing artists and organizations.We have been fortunate to have him teach for the past 5 years at our annual Beantown Lindy Hop Camp! Eric grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area where he continues to teach locally.

In addition to Hip Hop, Eric has had eight years of martial arts and four years of intensive training as a Jazz dancer. His other influences have been Modern Dance, Ballet, Tap, Lindy Hop, House and Break. Eric's choreography incorporates many of these influences into a unique and innovative style of dance called Fusion.

Eric is an outstanding instructor, great at breaking things down, wonderfully patient and good for all levels. His classes are great for working on your individual dance skills, and his sequences are always challenging, very musical and a ton of fun! They are for all dancers, not just those interested in Hip Hop, Eric is very familiar with Lindy Hoppers as his performance troupe in San Francisco, Loose Change, is primarily made up of Lindy dancers. His first love is teaching and his goal is to help others find freedom of expression through dance.

Besides being a phenomenal dancer and instructor, Eric is a down-to-earth nice guy and a lot of fun. One of Eric's best qualities as a teacher is that he has a great positive spirit. The atmosphere in his classes is relaxed and encouraging, never making you feel out of place.
