Emma is an American dancer whose journey began at a young age, with dance quickly becoming an important part of who she is. After graduating from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, she continued developing her professional experience with Ballet Idaho as a trainee and later with Sacramento Ballet’s second company. Most recently, she danced in Berlin, where she had the opportunity to work with choreographers including Anton Lachky, Peter Chu, Iacopo Loliva, and Máté Mészáros.

For Emma, dance is a way to connect — with an audience, with other artists, and with the present moment. She values the vulnerability that comes with performing and the possibility of making people feel something, even if only for a few minutes.

Outside of dance, Emma loves staying active through running, biking, and yoga. She also enjoys spending time with friends, especially over a competitive game of UNO or a good board game.
