The Dancers

Erin Cardinal (Founder/Director, Choreographer, Dancer) has been dancing most of her life. In her younger years, she was the director, choreographer and star of many backyard and family room productions in which she recruited most of the neighborhood talent to perform for apprehensive, yet supportive family and friends. After graduating from the University of South Florida, Erin joined Pedro Alejandro Dance in NYC. After returning to Tampa, she co-founded Moving Current. Since then she has had the honor of creating and teaching dance for 10 years. Besides working with Moving Current, Erin has also performed with Gaudere Danza at the Danspace Project/St. Mark’s Church in New York, NY and traveled to Castano Primo, Italy dancing with Jeanne Travers and Dancers at the International Festival of Music and Art. Erin is a past recipient of the Hillsborough County Emerging Artist Grant, Dance Magazine Award for Outstanding Performance Nominee, and voted Best Dancer & Best Choreographer from the Weekly Planet. She has been the Guest Choreographer at the University of South Florida choreographing both new modern and ballet works, for St. Petersburg College and Hillsborough Community College. Erin has served as a dance faculty member at the Howard W. Blake High School for the Arts, Tampa, FL. Her additional teaching credits include various residencies and workshops for dancers and movers of all ages, Dance Masters of America, USF and St. Petersburg College.
