DANCE

Prana Dance takes pride in being a family oriented studio that has something to offer each member of your family. We offer classes in Creative Movement, Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Hip-Hop, Musical Theater and Tap for ages 2 to adult. Prana Dance also offers Competitive dance and can provide private lessons as well. Our annual Showcase is a chance for dancers to show off their skills learned throughout the dance year. Summer camps like “Let’s Cheer & Chant” and “Princess Sparkle Squad” are also big hits with dancers.

Prana Dance makes sure every dancer has an outstanding chance to express themselves while being comfortable, confident and congratulated!

While at the Institute Erika had the pleasure of working with a diverse and talented faculty including Ana Lobe, Tatyana and Roman Mazur, Richard Dickinson, Jane Startzman, Lana Carroll, Andrew Carroll, MaryAnn Black, Amy Miller, Christina Foisie and Felise Bagley.

    Erika supplemented her early training with summer studies at both Pittsburgh Ballet Theater and Jennifer Muller/The Works. She continued her dance education at the University of Akron, graduating magna cum laude with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2008.

Ms. Hunt has over 15 years of teaching experience in ballet and pointe and has completed educator exams in the Cecchetti syllabus grades I-V.

  • Isa started dancing at a very young age, mostly taking lots of ballet classes. Isa comes from a Mexican background in which dance is a prominent form of art & self expression. She grew up with many different styles of dance such as Mexican dances and ballet. Some of her favorite styles of dance are ballet and contemporary. She loves the technique ballet offers and also loves contemporary because it always gave her a space to be able to express without much emphasis on technique. During her senior year, she shadowed her dance teacher, Erika, who worked at the same studio where Isa danced. Isa began teaching at Prana in 2021. Isa teaches musical theater, jazz, and lyrical classes. She enjoys the atmosphere of the studio and loves to work with kids. They make the job so much fun! In her free time Isa loves to paint, go out with friends, be active outside, read and study astrology. She is also currently in school part time to get her bachelors degree in fine arts
