Erika has always loved to dance since a little girl and at an early age got in to the Secondary School of Art of Pecs in Hungary; with only a small 13 people getting the position it was Erika’s first step into the dance industry. Erika Studied Ballet, Modern, Stage, Folk and Drama then completed her NVQ level 3-4 as a dancer. Once she had explored these dance genres, Erika started studying Contemporary at MU Theatre, then later moved on to dance at PR Evolution Dance Company. Erika has performed at the Hungarian State Opera, and the MUPA along with many other showcases. We are delighted to have her at the DFA Studios teaching her expertise. ” I can say that I have learned so much, that I would like to share this with children and adults who love dance as much as I do”.

Gina trained in Classical Ballet, Tap, Modern and Jazz dance from a very young age. Whilst attending Steppin Out Academy of Performance she achieved the highest levels of these genres, alongside studying Irish dance and gaining her teaching qualifications with the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (DDI and DDE)

Making her professional performance debut as a senior dancer in the Poole pantomime Peter Pan, Gina has since continued to perform in various cabaret troupes and modelling catwalk shows. Alongside teaching Gina performs regularly, something that she is very passionate about. Gina is thrilled to teach for Stella and the amazing pupils of DFA. Bringing her classical knowledge to the school Gina offers Ballet and Tap classes for children and adults as well as the ‘All That Jazz’ for 3 – 6yrs & ‘Wonders of the West End’, which both include Singing and Dancing!!
