Erica trained in Ballet and Contemporary Dance at the Conservatoire of Lisbon and, also, at the Conservatoire of Lyon. After working as a dancer in Portugal for a few years, she decided to continue her studies in Musical Theatre and went on to audition for London Studio Centre.Fortunate enough to win a scholarship from the college, she went directly to the 2nd year and was trained as a Singer/Dancer/Actress.Since then she has been involved in varied projects, including the London Studio Centre’s production of the musical Godspell which was played in Margate, Cambridge and London, the professional production of Grease – playing “Cha Cha” - in the Isle of Jersey and a six month worldwide cruise as the lead singer.Back in Portugal she got involved in many different projects - ballet and contemporary dance- before performing as a dancer in the opera-tango Maria de Buenos Aires (Piazzolla), at the theatre S. Carlos, in Lisbon.Last seen at Teatro Tivoli, Lisbon, where she performed the role of "Ariel" in the musical Footloose, and soon will be back to the same theatre, this time in the role of "Mia Farrow", in the musical Sinatra - Blue Eyes.
