Ms. Emma’s life has revolved around dance since the age of 2. While gaining 16 years of studio training at Melinda’s School of Dance she was able to work as an assistant teacher. She was very lucky to attend conventions and competitions across the U.S. She has worked with Disney stars and trained professionals such as Kent Boyd, Molly Gray, and Christopher Smith. While being involved on the Humboldt High School Dance Team she got the opportunity to compete at ISDTA where she placed in the top ten for state solos. After graduating from Humboldt High School she attended Iowa Central Community College where she competed on the Triton Dance Team while also being active in the Musical Theater Program. In 2021, Ms. Emma won a Hip Hop National Championship at the collegiate NDA competition in Daytona Beach, Florida, and also placed third in Team Performance two years in a row. In May 2022, Ms. Emma was selected to be a part of the Disney College Program. This past fall she transferred to the University of Northern Iowa to major in Public Relations and Special Event Management. This is Ms. Emma’s first year at ADC, and she doesn’t hold back any excitement about joining our family as an instructor!
