Description

In Grace in Motion, young dancers will explore the beauty of lyrical dance—a style that blends the fluidity of ballet with the expressive storytelling of contemporary movement. This beginner-friendly class introduces foundational technique, musicality, and emotional expression in a fun, supportive environment. Dancers will learn how to connect movement to music while developing grace, strength, and confidence. Perfect for kids who love to move, imagine, and express themselves through dance!

*Our Fall Showcase for ALL New Braunfels classes will be Monday, Oct. 13th at New Braunfels Bible Church.

Erica Dirba

Erica grew up dancing in New Braunfels. She began taking studio classes at the age of 4 and trained in Ballet, Tap, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Pointe, Kick, Pom, and Hip Hop. She was a New Braunfels High School Monocera, serving as Lieutenant Colonel her junior year and Colonel her senior year. She earned the honors of Platinum award-winning Officer, 3rd place Solo Finalist, and Miss High Kick at State competition her senior year. She was also selected for a special performance group that traveled to Hawaii with HTE Dance, a company she worked as an instructor for after high school. After high school she also attended Blinn College on a dance team scholarship, where she got to compete at NDA Nationals in Daytona Beach with the National award-winning Blinn College Treasures. She eventually transferred to and graduated from Texas A&M University (whoop!) where she continued to perform with Dance Arts Society. She served as the director of the St. Joseph Royalette Dance Team in Bryan and has choreographed for several middle school and high school dance teams over the years, as well as taught at local studios. She is now settled back in New Braunfels with her husband, John, and daughters, Ellie Grace and Kenna Rose. She is thankful she gets to share her love of performing with her girls, and has Ellie Grace to thank for venturing back into the world of dance at CYT! Erica is also the Director of Kids Ministry at King’s Community Church.
