Educational Offerings
“Emily is a fantastic teacher. Her classes are safe spaces in all the sense of the term. Her holistic approach of the art form she teaches allow her students to evolve not only on the technical level, but also as well-balanced artist and/or performers. She makes sure to focus on each student strengths while also ensuring that they also improve their weaknesses. I had the chance to have both group and private lessons with this amazing person, and I know I am a better artist thanks to her!
To anyone looking to for a great teacher of aerial arts, no matter if you are completely new to this or an advanced aerialist, I would highly recommend!”

UpcomingWorkshops
Vertical Dance at Atlanta Utility Works
Atlanta Utility Works, June 29th, 10am-12pm
Vertical dance, also known as wall dance, gives you the power to fly, glide, flip and run in gravity defying ways by literally turning your world on its side. Transform your movement practice by using the wall as your floor. In this workshop we learn how to reorient our minds and bodies through a combination of body activating drills, skill acquisition, and creative exploration. Progressions that accommodate total beginners and those who have flown before will be given. There is something for everyone! Safety is of utmost importance, so we emphasize a full understanding of the equipment in addition to ongoing safety checks. Bring your sense of adventure, play and personality!

Philosophy
​
"Technique makes you safe, authenticity makes you memorable"
A solid foundation gives you the ability to discover your own path. The goal of Emily's teaching is to empower artists to make this art form a true expression of themselves. Expression is accessed by giving each individual an understanding of aerial theory, the strength and body awareness to execute skills with solid technique and the confidence to continually grow. Most importantly, every class is integrated with opportunities for exploration.
​
Emily strives to create a learning environment that enables all identities, minds and abilities to feel safe, heard and empowered. Consistent continuing education in best practices as well as simply listening and applying feedback is very important to Emily's teaching.
