Eric Zimmer is active in Portland's dance community not just as a dancer, but as a personal trainer, instructor, choreographer and performer as well.  Eric's formal education as a fitness professional along with extensive training in ballet, jazz, modern, musical theater and ballroom gives him a unique capacity to work with a diverse clientele, combining exercise and dance to create new "signature" fitness programs, like the Dancer's Workout.  Eric holds a degree from the University of Montana in Health and Human Performance (1993) and has since earned further credentials as an Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist, Stott Pilates instructor and DVIDA certified ballroom dance instructor .  Eric teaches at several Portland fitness clubs and dance studios, where his dynamic and inviting style of instruction is a hit with both children and adults.  Whether he's correcting a client's form, teaching a new step to a group of students, or preparing himself for a show Eric is grateful that he can share his passion for movement and dance, and the Viscount is grateful to Eric as a member of the VDS family.
