Eric Laudenslager is comfortable being a little uncomfortable: “Being involved in the Redlands Symphony’s Dancing with the Stars has pushed me a little out of my comfort zone. I like that.”

Eric has been a resident of Redlands for the last 33 years. He is self-employed as a Physical Therapist and the owner of Yucaipa Physical Therapy. He and wife, Colleen, have been married for 27 years and have two sons, Aaron, 26, who is an MBA student at Loma Linda University and Adam, 24, who is in his first year of medical school, also at Loma Linda University.

“I was honored to be asked to be part of the Symphony’s Gala,” Eric says, “The funds we raise go towards a wonderful cause and being involved in an event like this one is very exciting.”

In his spare time, Eric enjoys bicycling, golf and travel. He also likes spending time with family and friends. He and Colleen have been members of the Redlands Country Club for the last 23 years.

“I have always enjoyed sports and physical activity,” Eric says, “But this is my first experience dancing and I’m looking forward to it.”
