Erin Rae’s School of Dance first opened its doors in the summer of 2005 in the historic mills of Fall River, Massachusetts. What began as a dream, fueled by passion, community, and creativity, quickly grew into something truly special. Starting with just 67 students in that first year, we built a foundation rooted in love for dance and a dedication to every dancer who joined us. Westport, where our director was raised, became the heart of our mission. Now, 20 years later, her dream of sharing her passion with the community has blossomed, with nearly 300 dancers walking through our doors each week.
We’ve had the joy of guiding many dancers on their personal journeys, instilling confidence, building lasting friendships, and celebrating each individual’s growth. Whether they’re training full-time or taking one dance class a week, our dancers have created a supportive family here, and we warmly welcome everyone into our community. E-Rae’s students have shined on both national and international stages, including Team USA at the Showdance Championships in Germany and the NBA as performers for the L.A. Lakers. We proudly belong to the Studio Owner Alliance and the Gold Alliance with Rhee Gold, standing alongside passionate leaders in the dance world.
Our purpose is to create a nurturing, creative space where every dancer can experience the joy of dance. We are dedicated to helping each dancer recognize their individual strengths, empowering them to pursue their dreams and goals as a community. This mission is unwavering.
At E-Rae’s, it’s not just about the dance moves, it’s about the confidence, the growth, and the joy that dance brings into each of our lives. No matter where your dance journey takes you, we are honored to be a part of it.
