"Eriko is the best teacher of young dancers I have ever come across. Delightful. Fun. Absolutely magic. Yet, also slowly builds the foundations for good technical practice. What a gift she is."

Ruthie Blair

“Milly is not only learning to dance she is learning a love of dance. Through the small and personal classes, she is learning to take her turn, to listen in class and to encourage others. Eriko is gentle and kind and takes the needs of each little dancer into account."

Mother, Pre-School Ballet

"Eriko and her team make every dance class a fun experience. My daughter cannot wait to get there every week and is progressing really well through the grades. I can’t recommend L’ecole de Danse highly enough. "
