Emma Larson

Emma began dancing ballet at Saugerties Ballet Center when she was 8 years old. Additionally she studied at the New Paltz School of Ballet, and at 16 she was accepted to train with Boston Ballet School for their Summer Dance Program. Emma remained in Massachusetts, having been asked to train as a year round student, studying ballet, modern, and character dance. During this time, she also worked as a teacher’s assistant under the direction of Luciano Aimar, the Head of the Children’s Program, and eventually accepted an offer to become a future teacher with The School. She remained here until the COVID-19 pandemic. During the pandemic, she continued her training with BBS over Zoom in New York until she was able to return to Massachusetts in 2021 for the Summer Dance Program with a scholarship. Currently back in New York, Emma is a senior at SUNY Empire State University and will be finishing her degree in Early Childhood and Dance Education in 2024. Once she gets her bachelors from Empire State, she plans on moving back to Massachusetts and enrolling in Boston Ballet School’s American Preparatory Ballet Training Program to further her teacher training, as well as her own dance training.
