Emily Sneeringer began their dance education at 4 in Albany, New York, before moving with their family to Washington state. Here they trained at Pacific Northwest Ballet and International Ballet Theater before beginning private coaching with Deborah Hadley. They moved to Pennsylvania at 15 to join Central Pennsylvania Youth Ballet, followed by Atlanta Ballet. After an injury, they returned to Washington state where they danced with The Stone Dance Collective, and taught alongside Deborah Hadley. They have since taught at Cascade Dance Academy and Turning Pointe Dance Centre, and DCS.

As a teacher, Emily focuses on technique and precision, and building individual artistry. They believe ballet is the math of dance, and that lessons learned in the studio are applicable across many aspects of life. They are incredibly excited to join DCS, as their mission of inclusion and personal expression squarely intersect with the direction they hope the dance world, and next generation of dancers are headed.
