Miss Emily has been inspired to dance in numerous ways throughout her life. Her early days in the Intensive Training Program at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet gave her strong foundations in ballet, jazz, lyrical, and modern and led her to pursue a degree in dance at Brigham Young University where she focused on contemporary dance. Following her graduation in 2017, she returned to Winnipeg to teach at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. In June 2019 she made the move to Edmonton and has enjoyed teaching both in Edmonton and the surrounding areas.
