Emma has always had a love for dance and music.  She was introduced to Classical Ballet as a form of Physical therapy at the young age of 2 when her clumsiness was constantly getting her injured. She started training at Classical Ballet Academy under the direction of Jennie Creer-King, where she trained for over a decade with her. Later on Emma changed studios and started dancing for Ballet West Academy Barbara Barrington Jones Family foundation under Maricar Drillon along with former instructors. Emma's early dancing years started with classical ballet but she later became familiar with contemporary, lyrical, neoclassical ballet, jazz, and ballroom. Emma received multiple scholarships throughout her training as well as many dancing and performing opportunities. Emma danced on her High school dance company through junior high as well as highschool, and formerly competed on a National Ballroom Team.
