EMILY

Emily grew up dancing at various studios in the Metro Atlanta Area, such as World Of Dance, Allstar Dance with Allison Polaski, and Footnotes Dance and Acrobatics, as well as training in Theater with Christian Youth Theater (CYT) and various school programs. She participated in the Vibe Performance company in Roswell, GA, until receiving a diagnosis of Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (hEDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). After years as a patient working with Occupational Therapists and learning hypermobility management through professionals at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, Emily shares a passion for integrating the priority of health into dance.

As an adult, Emily returned to dance as an Xtensity Performance Company and Aesthetic Ballet Ensemble member, performing in Wonka: The Last Golden Ticket and The Nutcracker with Dancefx Atlanta. Emily is pursuing her Art Education and Special Education degree at Georgia State University while teaching youth classes at Metro Atlanta Dance.
