Erica Hawkins

Burlesque Dance Instructor

Dance and fitness have always been apart of Erica’s life. At the ripe age of 18 she launched a dance program for the City of Carson that offered free classes to young girls and boys who couldn’t afford studio classes. The joy and empowerment that filled these children has since shifted to inspiring adults, as well. “Accepting a position to train at a Pilates studio made me realize how much EVERYONE needs love, inspiration and support. It isn’t only children; we all need it. We will always need it.” From Pilates to barre, from ballet to burlesque, Erica has found the perfect formula to combine her passions. “I loved being apart of a burlesque troupe because going to rehearsals was like strutting into a meeting of strong, sexy women- no judgements, no cattiness, only women lifting each other up. Then when we were on stage together, we took them all by storm with a power that many women have no idea they own. Hip Shake Fitness is allowing me to bring these same vibes of strength and beauty to women with ‘Burlesque Burn.’ I hope you remember what makes you special and strong and wear it like a crown every damn day, darling.
