Meet Emily

I’m a highly creative, multifaceted being with an entrepreneurial spirit and a dyslexic brain that helps me understand the world in an interconnected and dynamic way.

Dance at the Intersection is about using my creativity to explore dance as a method of storytelling, supporting people who share their dance with the world, and innovating new systems to sustain their work.

If we think of the many challenges we face in the world today - excessive screentime, declining health, cultural division, or loneliness to name a few, dance is a powerful solution hiding in plain sight.

A publication and community centered around dance.
It will feature written, video, and illustrated thought pieces. I will offer perspectives, ask questions, explore ideas, and challenge narratives and I will make the case for why I think THE WORLD NEEDS MORE DANCERS.
