Teaching Artist
Erin Carper has dedicated her life to the study of the body in motion. In the Bay Area, she had the pleasure of dancing in the works of Tomi Paasonen (Kunst-Stoff), Deborah Slater Dance Theater, Kara Davis (project agora), and Antoine Hunter (Urban Jazz).
In 2014, Erin Carper studied with Dance for PD® program founder David Leventhal at the Mark Morris Dance Center in Brooklyn, New York. She also is mentored in Dance for PD® by Susan Weber at Berkeley Ballet Theater. Erin holds a Bachelor’s Degree with Honors in Liberal Arts from the Saint Mary’s College of California LEAP Program. Her teaching is informed by her work as an instructor of GYROTONIC® and GYROKINESIS®, as a student of Body Mind Centering® with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, and her offerings as a somatic ecotherapy and wilderness rites of passage guide.
Erin believes that dance is everyone’s birthright. She brings her extensive background in dance, improvisation, theater, and somatics, as well as her deep love of music and nature, to each class.
