Miss Emily has been teaching and choreographing dance for over 20 years, working with dancers of all ages in jazz, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, tap, and hip hop. Her dance training began at the Freehold Performing Arts Center and continued at Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She is also YPAD certified and the founder of Zero Gravity, the eXperience (ZGX), a non-competitive dance convention centered around positivity, confidence, and the joy of dance. What Emily loves most about teaching is creating a positive environment where dancers feel comfortable being themselves, taking risks, and growing both technically and artistically. She wants her students to work hard, but also to leave class feeling confident, supported, and excited about dance.Outside of the studio, Emily is a wife to an amazing man, Carmine, mom to two kids, Jake (12) and Sydney (10), and a huge Disney World fan—she even has an annual pass!
