Sullivan (You’ll Move Forward...Fast), and worked professionally with Robin Gee, Clarice Young, Teresa Heiland, Lee Walton, Duane Cyrus and Ana Paula Höfling.

Her teaching and choreographic style is informed by release techniques (most notably Safety Release Technique), contemporary ballet and modern dance practices, and her love for visual and digital art, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Emmalee’s choreographic work is situated in the postmodern/contemporary genre with a focus on process, experimentation, improvisation, and abstraction. Her concert and screen dance choreography has been presented at the American College Dance Association Southeast and Mid-Atlantic Conferences (Bizarre!, Evocation). Emmalee is immersed in creative and scholarly research at the intersection of art making and pedagogical practice. Her choreographic research focuses on interdisciplinary collaboration with other dancers, composers, and multimedia artists. In addition, Emmalee’s endeavors in both concert and screen dance emphasize her goal to create visually pleasing and experimental art that fosters collaboration and is a catalyst for cognitive thinking. Her recent awards include the Kristina Larson Graduate Dance Fund and the Dean’s Research/Creative Initiative Fund.
