Emily Mejia - Dance instructor
Growing up as a life-long Nashville native, but also having Honduran parents, Emily has been influenced by the rhythm of many genres of music from around the world. Since she was 9 years old, Emily has been inspired to be the best dancer she can be. Her earliest exposure to dancing was, surprisingly, Traditional Aztec Dancing from a local group. She was in such awe, Emily asked to join their dance group, which they accepted. After practicing with them for a few months, Emily was allowed to perform with them at Centennial Park and Cheekwood. As she excelled more at her dancing, she decided to join the dance club of Hillwood High School, where she started with ballet, jazz, tap, and modern interpretive dancing.
During her senior year, Emily choreographed 4 dances, which was one of her personal best achievements as a dancer. After graduation, her dance teacher motivated her by saying, "Emily, keep on dancing!" She directly inspired Emily to learn and expand her repertoire of dance genres and can now comfortably dance to Bachata, Merengue, Salsa, Cumbia, Folclorico Dance, Spanish Flamenco, Samba, Hip Hop and Heels. Emily has always dreamed of one day teaching new dancers the joy of moving to the rhythm, so she came to BOOST to fulfill her dreams and help young dancers to believe and fulfill in theirs, too!
