ballet teacher with ballet student

STUDENTS age 10-18

 

Emma helped me in ballet from basic technique to the real art of the dance. In classes, she pushes you to your limits but makes it thoroughly enjoyable - she has a great personality! Also, she helped a lot towards my Royal Ballet audition.

 

Emma is an amazing coach. I reached out when i was recovering from an injury. Emma really helped me understand and explained my teacher's corrections in such a unique way that everything just made sense again. Not just a great teacher but also a great listener and mentor, she helped me a lot with advices when I didn't feel my best.

Emma has been working with my daughter individually, seriously and responsibly for over 4 years. Her classes work not only on technique but also on the dancer's self-esteem, which is important for making ballet lighter and happier.

 

I really recommend Emma as a teacher because you will definitely learn a lot and be motivated to go to her classes thanks to her kindness and patience.

 

Emma supported my daughter so much this past year by giving her corrections which were the root to most of her technical faults. She built my daughters confidence so that she is now able to handle the pressures of full time training. I don't know how to thank her enough.

Emma is such a great Ballet teacher. Since i’ve been taking private lessons with her I’ve been noticing improvement in so many different things and she is such an encouraging and kind teacher. That also makes her classes an even bigger pleasure and gives me lots of motivation. Emma also asks me about things I would like to improve in and finds me exercises that I can do at home which is great for me or if you can’t attend classes as much as you would like!

 

I have improved leaps and bounds in my ballet because of Emma’s coaching. She has been extremely supportive when I’m dancing. I have definitely noticed my technique developing ever since my classes with her started. 

 

Emma is the most passionate dance teacher and she really helped me improve my technique. Emma also helped build my confidence in dance and I really loved the classes.

 

Your coaching with our daughter for classical ballet not only helped her technically but also helped her better understand the integrity of ballet, with your great empathy and communication skills! We are so grateful for Emmas work and look forward to visiting Berlin again to work with Emma each school holiday! We will never forget your efforts to help our daughter reach her dreams.

 

Emma is a very talented teacher and my daughter has vastly improved with her guidance.

 

My private lessons were so helpful. I started ballet late so it was good to work with Emma to understand co-ordination and the technical basics so that I could catch up quickly to the rest of the class.

 

I love working with Emma, I can definitely say that she is a very well-rounded educator. Emma always prepares an efficient class targeted to my level and wishes, with technique, conditioning exercises and fun music. As a pilates trainee myself I couldn't find a better coach to improve my understanding of body awareness, alignment and sustainable dance training. I'm very happy with my progress working with her.

ADULT CLIENTS

 

5 Stars to one of the most engaging ballet teachers in Berlin. Having class with Emma has been encouraging and challenging at the same time, for me: as an adult who stopped training for several years, I am now back to her class. I am very enthusiastic about Emma's empathy, and I wish I could join multiple other tailored classes with her:)

 

Emma is a wonderful ballet teacher. She is so passionate about her work and this shines through in her teaching. Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced ballet dancer, I highly recommend.

 

Emma is such an amazing teacher!

Her approach is so individual - she always knows your strong sides, your weak sides, always takes into account your health condition and builds a class program specifically for you.

Emma‘s explanations are always clear, so after that you can easily do a movement even though you were struggling with it before. I can see a huge progress after these classes!

Emma is such a nice, delicate and thoughtful person and these classes brings me so much joy and fun so I’d definitely recommend it!

 

Emma is the most passionate dance teacher and she really helped me improve my technique. Emma also helped build my confidence in dance and I really loved the classes.

 

Emma's class is really inspiring, due to her attention to detail, her patience and love for what she does. I am a beginner and hadn't tried ballet before, but this class makes me want to explore ballet dancing more!

I love working with Emma. She knows exactly what level her students are at and always manages to make them surpass themselves step by step. Emma supports me in becoming more confident in the ballet movements and executions I am learning, but she also inspires me and challenges me to move on in development and learn in every class new stuff. She has been teaching me pointe shoes - a big challenge for me. Her classes are always professional, but also fun and have a nice personal and open touch.

Emma is an extremely professional dance teacher who is attentive and passionate. I was relatively new to ballet and she really helped me improve. She is great with all different levels.

 

I can highly recommend the ballet lessons with Emma, she knows an incredible amount and can explain it very, very well!

 

 

Emma is a great teacher. I learn so much from her. She gives you great confidence in yourself and brings out the best in you.

 

Emma has such a clear and upbeat manner. She's just really at ease, comfortable and full of joy when she's teaching. At the same time she really carries an impressive grace and focus about her, which is really inspiring!

 

Die Ballettstunden mit Emma kann ich sehr empfehlen, sie weiss unglaublich viel und kann es sehr sehr gut erklären! Ich bin immer sehr beeindruckt und gehe total gerne hin!

 

Emma is an inspirational dance teacher who endeavours to help every student in her classes. 

 

ONLINE

 

I met Emma during the pandemic and if it hadn’t have been for lockdown our paths may have never crossed but, I am sure glad I got the opportunity to attend her virtual classes, because they really helped me stay focused and mentally fit during such a long and isolating period. Emma’s online intermediate ballet class also helped me stay physically fit and not only enabled me to maintain my technique but, lead to progress in numerous areas.

 

I have improved leaps and bounds in my ballet because of Emma’s coaching. She has been extremely supportive when I’m dancing. I have definitely noticed my technique developing.

 

Emma is such an accommodating teacher and really knows how to help her students reach their individual goals with a personalised approach. For me personally, her attention to detail created fantastic results but, class was also friendly and fun at the same time whilst always offering a caring and nurturing environment that felt truly safe.

As an American, I found Emma's virtual classes a blessing. She is very detail-oriented so that you, as the dancer, know what is right and wrong for your body and she easily tailors each class and exercise toward your bodily needs while also making a plan for progression.

  

On zoom, I always have two cameras (side and front) which lets Emma give feedback from multiple angles. I have never felt that being remote decreased the quality of instruction.

I love working with Emma and her classes are often a highlight of my week. My technique has improved so much by working with her and I am enjoying dance more than ever.

 

Emma is such a talented dancer and teacher, with impeccable technique that crosses all genres of dance!

For adult dancers or dancers of any age, I would certainly recommend taking private lessons with Emma. Over a reasonably short period of time, my pirouettes improved massively and with just a few months of weekly half hour private zoom sessions, Emma had me doing clean and consistent doubles, which was simply an amazing mile stone to reach. I have no doubt that I came out of lockdown a much stronger and more confident dancer.

 

I love working with Emma! The way she communicates is very positive and uplifting; always giving a new challenge to work on, each week so I can see and feel that I’m growing as an adult ballet beginner. She’s a true professional and finds new ways if something doesn’t work for me. I can’t recommend Emma enough!

 

I have been taking virtual private coaching with Emma for almost 3 years now, and I cannot recommend her highly enough! My technique has improved greatly (my teachers in New York agree). Her explanations are very clear and she notices small technique issues other instructors have missed, while also building strong musicality and artistry.

Her barre and centre work is always fresh and keeps me thinking and working hard. She tailors them to each student to work on different aspects of technique, which is so helpful. She will also assign homework exercises which is wonderful.

 

Der Ballettunterricht bei Emma ist hervorragend. Egal ob via Zoom oder vor Ort - das Coaching in regelmäßigen Abständen hilft mir enorm meine Technik und mich weiter zu verbessern. Emma nimmt sich immer genügend Zeit, erkennt schnell die Verbesserungspotenziale und kennt dann die richtigen Tipps. 

 

Excellent ballet teacher, very helpful and caring. You can literally feel that she loves her job. That is why every class is something very special.
