Emilie is 9 years old and is a 4th grader at The Alphonsus Academy. She is very happy and excited to be joining Extensions Dance Company this year.  Emilie began dancing around the age of 3, when her mom noticed her twirling around the house looking cute in a tutu dress. She loves all types of dance but the contemporary genre is definitely her favorite.  Outside of dance, she is also a passionate rhythmic gymnast. This very artistic sport helps her improve flexibility and balance, being a great complement to dance. In her free time, Emilie loves spending time with her besties, playing Roblox, making TikTok videos and traveling abroad with her family. Emilie’s all time favorite food is Fettuccine Alfredo, homemade by her dad. Her Starbucks drink of choice is Mango Dragonfruit refresher.

In her very young career as a dancer, Emilie enjoyed performing in the ArtDeco Nutcracker among the very talented dancers of The A&A Ballet. She also attended A&A’s Winter Intensive last year. Her most challenging dance moment was her first-ever solo performance of self-choreographed contemporary dance in front of her classmates and teachers at her school’s Talent Show. Being recognized as the Talent Show finalist gave Emilie a great boost of confidence as a dancer.  She is very excited to take on more challenges and grow in the dance world with Extensions Dance Company, learning from Miss Lizzie and all the incredible and dedicated teachers.  Emilie is also very grateful for all the new friendships she has made with the company members whose talents and achievements are a big inspiration to her.
