Miss Emily was born and raised in Evansville, WI and began dancing when she was just three years old. She started dance classes at Evansville Dance Academy and danced there until she was nine. She then continued her dance training right here at A Leap Above Dance, taking classes in ballet, pointe, jazz, and tap. She participated in many years of Nutcracker and was on competition teams.

Miss Emily’s biggest dance inspiration are her dance instructors. Her teachers always made her feel included and are one of the reasons dance became such a big part of her life.

Miss Emily is currently a student at UW-Whitewater-Rock County studying mechanical engineering..

In 2024 Emily became Acrobatic Arts Certified.
