Hello! I’m Emma Bright, founder of Embody Dance Studio and creator of Future Dance Teachers. I hold a BA (Hons) in Dance and have over 17 years’ experience running Embody Dance Studio.
When I was 14, I dreamed of becoming a dance teacher. I longed for a clear pathway into teaching and real-life experience — but I didn’t know where to start. I felt lost and without a plan.
That’s why I created Future Dance Teachers with the 14-year-old me in mind. The programme is fun, visual, practical, and accessible to all. There’s no homework, no exams, and no pressure. Instead, it builds essential life skills — communication, presentation, punctuality, and commitment — while opening young dancers’ eyes to the many aspects of assisting in a class and the future pathways into teaching.
The course goes beyond technique, exploring themes such as role models, nerves, and inclusivity, while nurturing confidence and self-belief — exactly what 14-year-old Emma would have loved!
Originally written for my own studio in 2022, the programme has now reached over 970 students across 60+ dance schools — and it continues to grow every day.
So thank you to that 14-year-old me… together, we’ve begun to make a real difference in the lives of young dancers.
The Future is Bright!
