EMILY JOHNSON

JOINED BSA 2024

Emily Johnson began dancing at the age of three. At age thirteen, she started training pre-professionally at Orlando Ballet School.

There, she was given the opportunity to perform among company members in Orlando Ballet’s professional production of The Nutcracker. Since then, she has trained at Ballet East, University of North Carolina School of the Arts, and The Sarasota Ballet’s Margaret Barbieri Conservatory. She is very grateful to have been trained by teachers and directors such as Phillip Broomhead, Gonzalo Espinoza, Charmaine Hunter, Dierdre Miles Burger, and Christopher Hird.

She has attended summer intensives including Bolshoi Ballet Academy, The Harid Conservatory, Royal Ballet School, and Ballet West. During these intensives, she danced in original contemporary works created by Rex Tilton and Charlotte Edmonds. Emily is looking forward to beginning her professional career with Ballet San Antonio for the 2024-2025 season.
