Owner/Instructor:
ERICA BARDWELL, a native to Lodi, started dancing at the age of four. In 2002, Erica opened Lodi’s own school of dance, Danzxpress, where she has since produced 22 recitals. As an instructor at Danzxpress, Erica teaches Tap, Jazz, Ballet, Hip-Hop, Lyrical, Pointe, and Ballroom. Erica’s choreography has been presented with Lodi, Portage, and Cambridge High School's Show Choirs and Musicals as well as Waunakee Middle School and Portage Community Theater in over 19 different Musical productions. Erica has also taught with the Zona Gale Young People’s Theatre, LSRC, and the Canepa School of Dance Baraboo. In her free time, Erica is the coach of Lodi and Portage High School colorguards. Her work was nominated the past three years for Outstanding Chroeography by the Tommy Awards, and she has helped performers improve as an Adjudicator at the Colby Show Choir Competition. Erica is thrilled to be able to share her joy of dance with others every day.
"Our goal at DANZXPRESS is to provide dance education in a fun and exciting way that encourages all of our students to gain self-confidence and have a true love for the art of dance."
