She officially joined The Dance Element's staff in 2015, and quickly became one of our most desired and most adored dance teachers.

 
Emily is a gifted instructor, with a natural ability to motivate young dancers, and a stunning dance performance artist. 
She is  a wonderful mentor as well as a positive role model for young students and aspiring dancers.

Emily very much enjoyed her amazing year in NYC,
but she is glad to be home (for now) and excited to once again share her passion with our
Dance Element family.
