Egyptian Dance

 "Ever since I was young, I dreamt of Egypt, a land wrapped in the allure of ancient mysteries and monumental legacies. Discovering the vibrant tapestry of ancient Egyptian culture, I knew it was a place I had to experience firsthand. When I finally walked upon the sands of Giza, the feeling was nothing short of a dream come true. Seeing the pyramids, reminiscent yet distinct from those in Teotihuacan in Mexico, I was transported across time and culture. The most unforgettable moment came when I stepped inside the pyramid, a journey to the core of history itself, which I know will resonate deeply within my artistic expressions. Egypt's enchanting allure was electrifying, filling my soul with inspiration and my mind with endless possibilities for new stories and illustrations, inspired by this timeless civilization." 𓀀

Hello there! I am Erika Ochoa and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as a passionate dance teacher with a deep love for Zumba and belly dance. For nearly two decades, I poured my heart and soul into a dance studio I called "Pineapple Dance Studio," nurturing the art of movement and creating a vibrant community of dancers. It was a place where memories were made, friendships were formed, and dance became a way of life. In the dance world, I'm known for my commitment to teaching and sharing the joy of Zumba and the sensual rhythms of belly dance. After 18 amazing years, I recently made the decision to close the doors of Pineapple Dance Studio. It was a place filled with laughter, passion, and creativity, and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. But don't worry; the dance doesn't stop here! While the physical studio may have closed, my dedication to dance remains unwavering. I'm excited to continue sharing my love for Zumba and belly dance in new v
