Emily Hart
Emily Hart
ADAPT Certified, PBT Certified
Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Modern, Contemporary, Hip Hop, Tap
Emily Hart is an Art in Motion Alumni that spent over 17 years training in the Terrace community. 15 of those years were spent under the tutelage of Leah Correia, first at the Northern Conservatory of Dance, and then at Art in Motion, training in ballet, jazz, lyrical/contemporary, modern and tap.
Emily left Terrace in 2012 and has spent the two years training in Vancouver at Harbour Dance Centre. In 2012/13 she auditioned and was chosen for the Intensive Training Program, which involved training, company performances and commercial work. In 2013/14 she again
auditioned and was selected into The Source Dance Company. She has continued with extensive hours of training, choreography and ultimately, increased performance and commercial work opportunities. She
has trained with such well known choreographers as Taylor James, Moe Brody, Joanne and Alex Pesusich, Tara Jean Popwich, Megan Lawson, Gillian Meyers, NappyTabs, Alex Wong, to name a few. Those years have provided many learning opportunities and growth as she also expanded her training to include hip hop, street jazz and musical theater.
Emily’s commercial dance experiences include multiple flash mobs, Vancity Project 5 & 6, Building Dreams Performance, the 2014 opening ceremonies for the Vancouver Aquarium expansion, Harbour Dance Centre’s production of Westside Story, multiple commercial dance shows, and video dance work with Mariana’s Trench in their 2013 video “Stutter”.
Emily is very excited to continue to teach in Terrace, BC where she started her dance life, and to share the technical skills, choreography, experience and passion for dance, with her AIM family. Her focus on technique, training, and discipline, within a positive and caring environment are skills that she feels will benefit our AIM dancers. Emily feels very fortunate to be given this opportunity to return to where things started for her and share all that she loves about the dance world with us.
