Emma, known lovingly as Ms. Emma, has been an inspiring dance instructor at Ann Arbor Dance Classics since 2011. For over a decade, she has been a pillar of our dance family, shaping young dancers with her passion, dedication, and kindness. She has touched the lives of countless students, families, and colleagues—bringing joy, confidence, and artistry to everyone she teaches.

Now, Emma needs our support. She was recently diagnosed with breast cancer and is facing a double mastectomy on February 10th, followed by an extensive recovery and future reconstruction surgery. This journey will require several months away from work, and with mounting medical expenses and lost income, we are rallying together as a dance community to help ease her financial burden.

We kindly ask for any donation—big or small—to support Emma during this challenging time. Every contribution will go directly toward her medical costs, recovery, and the months ahead as she focuses on healing.

Emma has given so much to our dance family over the years—let’s come together to give back to her. Your generosity, love, and support mean the world.

Thank you for standing with Ms. Emma! ❤️
