Emma is a junior at Ithaca
College where she is majoring in Philosophy & Religion and minoring
in Dance. She has been dancing since she was five years old, after
inspiring her parents to sign her up for ballet lessons by donning
a tutu and twirling and bouncing around in the back yard of her
house. Emma has since enjoyed the forms of ballet, jazz, modern,
hip-hop, and lyrical dance. She has choreographed and taught dance
to children at Crystal Theater's 'Arts in the Park' summer camp
for the past six years, as well as for CSMA's "Arts All Around You"
program this past summer. Additionally, she has choreographed several
modern, jazz, and ballet pieces for Dance Dimension's winter and
spring dance recitals. Around the same age as when she began dancing,
Emma also began learning to play piano. She is now an accomplished
classical pianist and sees the connection between appreciating music
and becoming a successful dancer. Emma incorporates the importance
of music into her lessons to enhance her students' abilities and
talents. But most of all, Emma believes that dance should be first
and foremost, fun! |
