Jennifer Hudson welcomed Eryka Waller from Philadelphia, PA, a dance instructor and the owner of Quinn Center for the Performing Arts where she teaches kids ages 2-18. Prior to opening her dance studio, Eryka was a social worker and saw the challenges youth in the city faced and felt the need to give back.
She opened the Quinn Center in 2019 to provide a safe and healthy outlet for young girls of color in her community. Eryka has committed herself to ensuring young women have a place to build their skills in dance while also instilling the values of self-esteem, self-love, and confidence. Then, Eryka is surprised by none other than Debbie Allen, whom she has long admired and Denny’s, who is committed to highlighting mental health awareness, donates $10,000 to Eryka so she can continue her important work.
