Eric is an amazing instructor knowledgeable in numerous dance genres including ballet, modern, country western, salsa, argentine tango and others. He is professional and patient and will work with you to obtain your dance goals. Eric also is an expert on the human anatomy and has helped me to correct my posture and increase my flexibility. I highly recommend Eric, you will not be disappointed! Thank you, Eric, I feel blessed to have you guide me on my dance journey.

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by SB on Nov 12, 2014 . Eric Zimmer is an excellent fitness trainer who is also professionally trained in dance. He brings this exceptional fusion of knowledge and skill to his students in dance. His warm teaching style and his ability to individualize instruction in a group setting has benefited my family as we have pursued our interest in social dancing. Eric took on our little group of mostly non-dancers and worked very hard to find ways to successfully teach my husband and brother-in-law, sixty-something athletes, and my sister, also a non-dancer, the basics of Argentine tango and nightclub two step. Our regular dance lessons have become a fun and eagerly anticipated family event and my husband will be ready for his father-daughter dance at our daughter's wedding. Thank you, Eric, for taking on the challenge of sharing your love of dance with dancers and non-dancers alike.
I am so grateful to have found Eric!

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by Jen Olson on Jul 24, 2014 . I am so grateful to have found Eric! After years of being sedentary and extremely overweight, I started dancing again a few months ago. I can't even begin to articulate how lucky I feel to have found Eric when I was searching for the right instructor. His expertise in both dance and fitness is extensive, and makes me feel very secure. Eric is encouraging and supportive, and pushes me while staying realistic and mindful of my limitations, putting health and safety above all else. Even on days when I can't seem to get the steps correct, Eric remains both patient and positive, and always manages to make sure I enjoy my time, despite my frustration. I have a long road ahead of me, and I can't imagine having a better guide. Thank you, Eric - you are a gift.

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by Heather Stewart on Aug 14, 2013 . A Man of Many Talents Eric came into my life as a weekly yoga instructor at my office. From there he also helped me (and many others at my office) with workstation ergonomics, race posture and some energetic entertainment at the holiday party. Eric has helped me become more aware of my body at work, rest and play. He's changed my life for the better!

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by Donna Morris on Jul 31, 2013 . A Ballet Teacher loves this class! As a professional in ballet for over 30 years I know the benefits of dance very well. I recently had the pleasure of taking Eric's class. His innovative use of ballet barre and floor exercise is expertly taught, challenging and yet suitable for all levels of fitness. If you want a dancer's body, do this workout!

I am twice as healthy as I was before starting training with him. He is very personable and skilled at what he does. He is also a fantastically talented dancer. I highly recommend him and his new Exercise DVD "Eric Zimmer Dance Workout"."
Ballet

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by Caroline on Aug 13, 2012 . Ballet Eric is a fantastic dance/fitness instructor. As both a private and group instructor he is patient, attentive and helpful. I recently restarted ballet after a long break and find his barre class especially helpful for learning/mastering basic technical elements of ballet. Eric keeps his classes fun and challenging (but not too challenging). I have also begun working with Eric privately. As a private instructor, Eric has helped me develop a repertoire of exercises to improve my strength, flexibility, and posture in order to improve my dance technique. He is incredibly knowledgeable about all aspects of fitness and is wonderful at working with people of all different ages and skill levels.
I am continuously amazed...

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by Kimi on May 31, 2012 . I am continuously amazed... I have been working with Eric for over 6 years and I am continuoulsly amazed by the knowledge that is occupying his brain. I significantly broke my ankle 20 years ago and I, unfortunately, live in chronic pain. With that, I am always bringing a challenge to our sessions because of the compensation that is caused by my ankle. Eric is eager to teach, empathize, and support me in any way that I need it. I feel incredibly grateful to have him in my life and I am looking forward to working with him for many years to come.
Bravo!

Eric Zimmer - Dance and Fitness Specialist Reviewed by Stephanie on Mar 12, 2012 . Bravo! I love dance and Eric's barre class is a great workout. After four weeks in Eric's class, I already see a crossover improvement in my other activities involving balance and core strength. Eric is an accomplished dancer, very inspirational to watch, and he is an excellent teacher. His classes are fun, positive, and focused. Eric uses his extensive knowledge of dance and exercise physiology to help each participant move to their next level of ability and fitness. Short version: amazing class, amazing instructor, amazing results. Bravo!
