Emily Carlson

Emily is a classically trained ballet and contemporary dancer hailing from Vancouver BC. She studied the forms of Ceccetti, Vaganova and RAD under the careful direction of Li Yamming at the school of Pacific Dance Arts. Emily also had the opportunity and privilege to train at the LINES Ballet Summer Training Program and the Alberta Ballet Summer Training Program. After taking some time away from dance to continue her education in mathematic, Emily has broadened her styles to those of contemporary and creative movement exploration (Contact Improvisation/Ohad Nahrin Gaga). In her teaching Emily's main priority is to facilitate a joyful and expansive relationship to dance; technique will follow once the love of the form and self is present.
