Me…

I grew up in a home of dance and art.

I’m a CREATRIX: dancer, artist, author, creativity doula, DJ, group facilitator and entrepreneur. I’m co-founder of The Move Dance Collective, one of Toronto’s largest ecstatic dance communities, and Dance Our Way Home, an award-winning ecstatic dance practice for women. I have 40+ years of experience in the creative, healing and spiritual arts spanning continents and countries - Indonesia, Wales, the USA, India and Canada. I’ve been honoured by the Canadian Dance Assembly with a national dance award as an ‘Outstanding Individual and/or Organization Promoting Dance as a Tool for Healthy Communities’.

I’m a devotee of the Divine. The Divine Feminine. I’m a mother, friend, traveller, partner, daughter and sister. I’ve fallen head over heels in love with life and my place in it. As a Messenger of Love, I’m devoted to your liberation. I’m committed to inspiring your FLIGHT on effervescent wings of trust, curiosity, ease and beauty. I believe in the magic of letting go, in miracles, and limitless possibilities. 

As a multi-passionate creatrix and solo entrepreneur...
I can help you actualize your creativity and artistic expressions - from the conception and/or birth of a tangible creation, to the wider envisioning and creation of your blossoming life.

As a loving mirror and soft witness...
I can create a sacred container for you to find, embody and hone your unique gifts, by meeting you exactly where you are, and wrapping you in LOVE, kindness and compassion.

As an enthusiastic ally and cheerleader...
I can bolster your joy, curiosity and courage to trust your impulses and remember your magnificence, by offering playful prompts, evocative questions and needed tasks.

As a natural visionary and curious wanderer...
I can offer you new insights and possibilities for your life and wellbeing by sharing what and how I see - from the mystical to the practical, micro to the macro, mundane to the magical. *Stepping into the wild terrain of unfamiliar territory, both physically and metaphorically, is what I do and what I love!

As an intuitive and trained artist, and music-lover...
I can create beautiful works of art for you, your home or business. As well as personalized mixed dance sets.

Expressions of creativity, love and joy are my life’s work, my calling.

Interviews

Praise

“Erica is the perfect guide to awakening an embodied commitment to artistic practice. The dancing and sharing portions of Open Studio help dislodge the stagnate narratives that tell us we can’t or shouldn’t prioritize our creative expression and ignite a practice of community flow to keep us accountable. It’s a brilliant weaving together of creative practices and togetherness. With Erica at the helm leading by example, this supportive and inspiring group is the creative invitation we all need.”  — Amanda

“Erica brings deep love, care and magic to everything she does. She touches the hearts of the women she works with deeply, holding their lives, their gifts and potential as sacred. In doing so, she treats them as flowers ready to unfold, helping them to gently and courageously open to themselves, to a community of sisters and to the greater currents of life." — Marilyn Daniels

“Erica Ross is a living, breathing heart chakra. Her book She Reflects features over 60 practices, stories and experiences based on a lifetime in the creative, healing and spiritual arts. She even includes playlists! Her adventurous life as a dancer, DJ, artist, world traveller, group facilitator and mother spill out on the pages as wisdom gained and shared for our benefit. Designed to awaken curiosity, courage, compassion, creativity, self-love and self-care, this book is clearly a gift of love to all of us. A ray of sunshine on a dark day, it's my spiritual caffeine.” — Nadine Prada

“She Reflects is a beautiful creation that tells the story of Erica Ross, intertwined with thoughtful exercises to help the reader connect with their feminine soul in deepening spiral phases. You can feel the radiance of Erica's soul and she helps you find it within yourself. I met Erica in 2014. Prior to this book's creation, or perhaps while it was quietly churning within her, Erica visited me in my dreams a number of times offering counsel, rescue and support - always in a role of uplifting guidance. She Reflects is a must-read for anyone ready for guidance in connecting deeper with their soul.” — Hoann Ignacio

“I have experienced and loved Erica’s work through Open Studio, Creativity Doula sessions, and her book ‘She Reflects’. I love the delight and fun that Erica brings to all her offerings. There’s a lightness which is both unburdening and illuminating. And that is such a wonderful container for any creative project or offering, as it supports the high points as well as times when things are more challenging.

I recommend and have recommended Erica’s work! Open Studio and Creativity Doula sessions have had a profound impact on how I view my own creative process and what I put out into the world. And that’s all been very gentle, easeful, and organic – it’s only when I look back that I see the changes they’ve made.

I’ve always felt deeply welcomed and accepted by Erica, which has allowed me to show up fully in the spaces she holds. And that safety in showing up fully has flowed into authenticity and presence in my work. Erica embodies and radiates love and creativity, and I see her presence influencing everyone who steps into her spaces. She’s a naturally inclusive, nurturing person.” – Joanna Wiles 

“I have been so lucky to participate in Erica's Open Studio on and off for a couple of years now, I think. I love the gentle, accepting, and enlivening container that Erica has created that supports whatever creative project I'm exploring. It's wonderful to have this supportive structure. I also have tremendous appreciation for the dance breaks, since dance is one of my favourite activities. Erica has helped me discover some wonderful music as well as providing loving support on my creative journey. I'm very grateful.” — Sarah Rubenstein
