Emma Sammoury

Emma (or Em J as she is often called) was born and raised in Colorado. Joining DanceSpace in 2012, Emma has studied ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, hip-hop, and contemporary, as well as participating in many other technique classes. Her favorite styles of dance are tap, contemporary, and ballet, but she is always ready to jump into any style of dance. Emma’s undying passion for dance sparked her love of teaching and choreographing. As an assistant teacher for 5 years, Emma is eager to continue to teach and work alongside the wonderful DanceSpace faculty and staff. Emma has been a part of Alpha Crew since its beginning 4 years ago and is a graduating senior of DanceSpace this year. Additionally, Emma graduated high school this past year as valedictorian, demonstrating her equal focus on dance and education. This year, she is majoring in History with a minor in Dance at the University of Colorado Boulder. She hopes to be a History professor someday and continue to teach dance. Emma is very excited to continue being a part of the DS family this year, especially in this new role!
