Emily Wilson's Bio
Emily Wilson
is the mother of three elementary aged
children and new member of the “Moment
in Time” dance company. Her academic
studies in college included minoring in
Dance. During her studies she had the
opportunity to take a variety of dance
history and movement classes including
the Alexander technique, West African
dance and Laban Movement Analysis as
well as choreograph her own dances and
perform in guest and student
choreographed pieces each year.
Emily's
performing arts developed from a young
age originally with voice lessons and
auditioning in Boston, MA for the part
of "Cosette" in Les Miserable.
While she recalls having a bit of stage
fright at the downtown skyscraper (John
Hancock) building that day, she found
her singing voice in her community
churches where she would sing in front
of a large crowd, often accompanied
by her sister playing the piano.
Emily found the Mary Flynn Murphy school
of dance during her time living in
Belmont, MA and had a wonderful
experience with trying ballet, tap and
jazz for the first time.
When her
family relocated to Salt Lake City, UT
she found a creative movement class
at the Virginia Tanner school first and
then started to study ballet at
the Christensen Center, and joined
a musical theater group. She recalls her
strict Russian
teacher whom she will never forget
for teaching her the importance of
working hard in ballet class, and
introducing her
to pointe shoes. Emily then found the
Ballet West conservatory, where she
studied ballet technique and pointe,
character,
jazz, and pilates. She
performed in their "Nutcracker" for 4 years as
a child, in the roles of "buffoon",
"party girl" and as
"Clara" for a statewide tour to
elementary schools. She also
performed as a solo child in Ballet
West's "Midsummer Night
's Dream".
Emily has
attended several dance workshops during
her college and post college years
including the American Dance
Festival on scholarship, a Merce
Cunningham intensive in NYC and most
recently, a Martha Graham intensive.
She enjoys
drop-in adult ballet classes when
possible&especially her regular
modern dance technique classes with
Rosalind Schrodt. For more
