Hello! I’m Emma Bright, founder of Embody Dance Studio and creator of Future Dance Teachers. I hold a BA (Hons) in Dance and have over 17 years’ experience of founding and directing Embody Dance Studio.
The programme builds essential life skills — communication, presentation, punctuality, and commitment — while opening young dancers’ eyes to the many aspects of assisting in a class and the future pathways into teaching. The physical workbooks and practical tasks make the programme fun, visual and accessible to young learners.
The course goes beyond technique, exploring themes such as role models, nerves, and inclusivity, while nurturing confidence and self-belief.
Originally written for my own studio in 2022, the programme has now reached over 950 students across 60+ dance schools — and it continues to grow every day.
