Erica Jones is from the Chicagoland area and is currently studying Dance at Columbia College Chicago. She found her love for dance at the age of nine taking lyrical and jazz-based dance classes at her neighborhood dance studio. In her third year at Columbia College, she plans to use her years of knowledge and training to be a part of choreography projects created by others and plans to create some of her own. Growing up surrounded by diverse cultures and dance spaces, Erica's passion has always been to share the versatility inside of her movement with the dance community in order to represent the unique creativity in culture. Her biggest take away from her dance training so far has been the different elements of collaboration. Collaborative work has made Erica blossom into the dancer she is today, with the help of her peers she has mentally, physically, and emotionally grown into a better artist.
