She is visibly energized by country-hopping, eager students and the expansion of world dance. In 2007, she totally fell in love with Latino and Brazilian Dance. After her first taste of it, her passion for this dance could not be contained, hence her prime focus on this sensual and exhilarating dance. Today, besides teaching in fitness centers, Emily continues to train the new generation of dance lovers and different dance teams in different countries. Her humble nature keeps her teaching because she believes that she herself is always "learning by teaching". Being grateful to all the teachers and students that have helped her to grow in dance, she feels compelled to give back as much as she has gratefully received and more.
