Emma Liddell started dancing in New Zealand at the age of three. She trained in many styles from Classical Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary to Tap. Throughout her younger years she competed in numerous competitions and won many awards as well as performing in a range of shows including performing with the Royal New Zealand Ballet.

At age 16 Emma moved to Melbourne to commence her Diploma in Dance. Emma loved every minute of her full-time training where she was learning from one of the most well known American dancers Gelsey Kirkland. During Emma's three years full-time training, she expanded her range of styles learning Flamenco, Musical Theatre, Hip-Hop, Acrobatics and Drama.

On commencement of her Diploma in Dance, Emma travelled overseas for 18 months to learn from some the best dancers and teachers in the world including choreographers for Britney Spears and Janet Jackson. After travelling and dancing in L.A, Las Vegas, London, France, Cyprus and Bulgaria, Emma returned to Australia.

In 2010 Emma found it was time to make her long time dream a reality and open Backstage Dance Academy in Paddington, Brisbane. As well as opening B.D.A, Emma is currently choreographing for the Australian Girls Choir here in Brisbane.

Emma is very excited to be opening a dance school and to be given the opportunity to pass on her acquired skills and knowledge and share her love of dance and arts.
