Emma W. Frank (she/her) is a Boston-based dance artist, educator, and choreographer. Her creative practice strives to cultivate networks of physical and psycho-social care that permeate process and performance. Through her visceral movement style, Emma seeks levity as well as groundedness, flow within shifting rhythms, release into desire in the moment, connection and tethering to others, and building resilience in the body and mind.

Emma holds a B.A. in Dance and Psychology from Smith College where she collaborated with and performed in works by Angie Hauser, Chris Aiken, Duane Lee Holland Jr., Laura Osterhaus-Rosenstone, Chloe London, and Francesca Baron. Originally from Silver Spring, Maryland, Emma spent her early years training at CityDance School & Conservatory where she performed in works by internationally renowned artists Ronen Koresh, Andrea Miller, Sarah J. Ewing, Robert J. Priore, Kaitlin Madzelan, Frederick Earl Mosley, and Alex Neoral.

Emma currently teaches dance to children and teens at Tony Williams Dance Center in Jamaica Plain, MA. She dances for Boston-based dancers Sean Bjerke, Hannah Brown, Bridget Nicolo, and Ava D’Eon.
