Whether teaching or performing, Erin is one of the most pivotal figures in the Michigan dance scene.
Erin honors the tradition of the dances she teaches without losing sight of innovation or personal expression, and her love of solo movement gives her a unique artistry and playful confidence.
In addition to dancing, she studies and performs on her jazz tuba with the Easy Street Jazz Band alongside the best Dixieland musicians in Michigan.
As a group, Erin Morris & Her Ragdolls present and promote the relationship between music and dance by performing almost exclusively with live musicians.
They are regularly featured performers at NOLA Girl Jam, and they also perform annually on the renowned Michigan Theater stage for the “Ragtime Extravaganza!” show.
Since 1999, Erin has taught for the University of Michigan – Swing Ann Arbor and greatly enjoys investing in her local lindy hop community.
She has also taught at national events, like Lindy Diversion in Denver, CO and Hooverville Stomp in Oberlin, OH. With strengths in raw, unique movement, poetic yet simple breakdowns, and an overall conversational teaching-style, it’s easy to see why Erin is always a crowd favorite at workshops.
