DANCE EDUCATOR

Emma is very excited to build on her teaching journey with Precision Dance. She first started dance at the age of 2 and fell in love with the performance aspect, and especially the costumes. Emma took a break from dance for a few years due to moving across town and struggling to find a good studio to join. She believes she is lucky to have found Precision Dance, and has absolutely loved dancing there and being part of the family ever since.

Over the years Emma became one of Precision’s regular ‘fill in’ teachers and her confidence grew, she loved engaging with the younger dancers and sharing her love of dance, so when a regular teaching job came up she jumped at the chance!
