Competitive & Recreational Dance Classes in Burlington
Where technique meets artistry, and dancers find home.
Competitive Program
Soul In Motion Dance Company is Burlington’s newest competitive dance program for dancers ages 6 through 17. We are focused on developing strong, expressive dancers through high-quality training and choreography. With an emphasis on dancers’ overall health and wellness, technique, artistry, and community, dancers receive focused and comprehensive training in a supportive and inspiring environment. While working closely with experienced teachers and choreographers, dancers can grow, challenge themselves, and perform at their best.
Our competitive teams focus on jazz, acro, lyrical, contemporary, tap, and hip hop allowing dancers to explore various disciplines. To further support technical growth, all dancers are also required to take weekly ballet classes and cross-training sessions, which serve as a foundation for strength, control, stamina, and proper technique development across all styles.
Our competitive program is designed to develop exceptional dancers who are prepared to pursue the professional world if they choose, but above all, we are committed to shaping strong, confident, and remarkable human beings who are ready to take on the world long after they graduate from our program.

The Soul Behind The Movement
Erica Gavrilos
Founder & Director
Soul In Motion Dance Company was created from Erica’s lifelong love of dance and the powerful impact a competitive dance team can have on a young dancer’s life. Growing up, the dance studio was more than just a place to train, it was a second home filled with creativity, friendships, mentorship, and a true sense of belonging.
With over a decade of teaching experience, Erica has worked with dancers of all ages and levels, helping them build strong technical foundations while developing confidence, discipline, and artistry through intentional and supportive training.
At Soul In Motion Erica’s vision is to build a dance studio environment that feels like a second home, a space where dancers can push themselves to achieve excellence while also feeling supported, grounded, and inspired. Soul In Motion strives to develop not only strong dancers, but confident, resilient individuals who carry their love of movement beyond the studio.
