On this week’s episode, we chat with Emma Browne – a ballet dancer, teacher, and the Founder and Principal of EmBrace Dance Academy.

Emma shares what it was like to move from Ireland to Russia to pursue ballet training after just two years of dancing, and the challenges and lessons that came with that experience. We also discuss the importance of creating a nurturing and supportive environment for students, and how that can shape their journey in dance.Trained in Dublin, St. Petersburg, and Brussels, Emma has toured with Swan Lake, performed on public stages and at private events, and even appeared on RTÉ television.

After facing ill health, she returned to Ireland where she qualified as a registered teacher with the Association of Russian Ballet & Theatre Arts.

Now, as a certified Progressing Ballet Technique instructor and Barre Fitness instructor, Emma is passionate about teaching through kindness, empathy, and encouragement — values that lie at the heart of her academy.
