Hello! I'm Erin. You might want to know a bit about me right? Considering this is a "self-summary," and that you're reading this right now. Well, I am an active person, and someone who loves wit and banter. I value the arts. They are a big part of my life, and I'm making my career out of them. Dance specifically. Don't worry if you can't dance though. :) I'm not judging.

I'm flying by the seat of my pants, figuratively, mostly. I dance every day. It's the love of my life. I play the piano and sing. I climb rocks, or rock walls rather. I used to swim competitively, but now its just for fun. There's something wonderful about spending the day in the batting cages, or the driving range, and then getting dressed up to go out that night. High heels are terrible.

I want to see as much of the world as possible, and love moving. Yes, moving. It's incredibly liberating to get up and be able to start all over, learning a new city, meeting new people, and being whoever you want to be. I've got most of the United States taken care of, Japan and Russia. Next stop, someplace warm.

I hate driving in the city, because I drive a stick. I also kind of love telling people this, or seeing their reactions when they get in my car. It makes me feel just a little badass. I have my motorcycle license, but have yet to get a bike. I'm not sure how badass I'll feel when I do, because there's always the unavoidable helmet hair dilemma. :P

The future you ask? Heck if I know. Literary English/Dance majors have it rough. I'm in school at UMBC. I'd love to teach kids in theater and dance programs eventually. Until then, however, its classes for me.

I did get to preform recently as a backup dancer for a drag queen show in Baltimore called the Miss Gay Maryland Pageant. It was one of the coolest things I've ever done. Everyone there was so fun, supportive, and wonderful!!

I want to create, enjoy, travel, love, explore, see, hear, touch, smell, taste. I want to live!!!

Apparently I look biracial. Latin, African American, etc. I assure you I am not. French is the extent of my ethnic flavor.

How I could possibly make my choreography into something worth watching. How I can create movement that makes people gasp, squirm, rejoice, pine, lust, and cower all at once. I want to create things that make people forget to breathe.

Skydiving, deep-sea fishing, inciting riots, making moves.

I need a dance partner.
