Thanks, Aaron! And thank you for bringing dance to your service. As a dancer I am always thrilled to see dance happening in places where people may not be expecting it. I also had a great time dancing in the lobby with some of the little girls after the service. :)

WOW!!

Consummate pro , wowed the crowd the her interpretive dance of my wife’s favorite song silent lucidity . Very creative and had a fantastic finish. You can tell she loves what she does. Not often in this world, do you pay for something unseen, and get more than you expected!!! She provided that for me , my wife and 102 satisfied guests. People were asking how I found her. She will be in any future plans I have when I need a dancer!!!

Seasoned Professional... And so gracious.

Watching Emily Running work, I experienced her enveloping passion. There is no corner of Choreography, Dance, Stage, that Emily does not OWN. From building relationships to crossing every T in the business/logistics end, to the Show itself, Emily leaves no detail to chance. Her preparation is tireless. She can do it ALL.

Amazing choreographer!

Emily was fantastic! We contacted her only one week before we needed choreography done for our girls to do for their upcoming dance competitions. She was quick to respond and choreographed an awesome dance for the girls!!

About

I have been dancing since age five and the studio and theater are my happy places. I have a BFA in Choreography and Performance in Dance and have been working nationally and internationally as freelance dancer, choreographer, project manager, and talent director since 1999.

As a CHOREOGRAPHER - I can work with any level of mover from beginning to advanced. What I love most about choreography is the creative process. My end goal is always to make sure everyone involved is confident in the movement.

As a PERFORMER - I am versatile and dedicated to working with you on your vision. I think dance is a great addition to any event!

Additional booking notes

As a choreographer or performer I need to know:

-Do you have music chosen or will I be choosing music? If you have music (one song or multiple) is it already cut? I can cut and edit music for an additional fee.

-If rehearsals are required do you have a space to conduct rehearsals?

-If I'm choreographing for you, how many people and what is their skill level (I work with all skill levels!)

-Describe the features of the performances space, including but not limited to: square footage of unobstructed space, floor surface, ceiling height, and lighting capacity.

-What is your budget? I work with everyone from individuals to nonprofits to corporations so I don't have a one size fits all rate. But please note: I have recently implemented a $500 minimum.
