About the owner
Emily is a professional dancer, teacher, judge, choreographer, NASM personal trainer, and cat lover from Houston, Texas. From the very beginning, dancing has been her one true passion.
Emily considers herself to be a bit of a mutt in the dance world (showing that hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard!). Taking little bits of education, training, and experience from numerous places (high school drill teams, fine arts schools, zillions of dance studios, conventions, competitions, college, professional jobs, auditions), she has a vast amount of knowledge on most facets of the dance world.
After spending four years at Oklahoma City University, she graduated cum laude with a degree in dance performance. Immediately, she moved to New York and was cast as a Radio City Rockette six weeks later. After a whirlwind experience kicking eye-high at Radio City, she has expanded into other areas of the dance world.
Emily has performed for Theatre Under the Stars, Royal Caribbean, Oceania Cruise Lines, The US Air Force Band, and Michael Buble. She’s performed as a swing, dance captain, in the ensemble, in featured dance roles, and occasionally leading vocal roles. Performing in CATS! aboard the world’s largest cruise ship for a year in the Caribbean was one of her favorite memories.
To compliment her love of performing, Emily is hugely passionate about teaching dance. Since leaving the performing world, Emily has taught full time in Houston, TX. She has been the Middle School Dance Teacher at Duchesne Academy for the past three years and guest teaches at various studios in the Houston area.
