I had the pleasure to interview Emily Beattie about this years SWAN DAY. Emily is a passionate dancer, choreographer, teacher and curator of SWAN DAY. Emily Beattie has choreographed one dozen dances since her arrival on the Boston dance scene in 2003. Her training began in classical ballet with Avery Ballet in Fredericksburg, Virginia. After studying the works and techniques of Humphrey-Weidman, Martha Graham, and Jose Limon she received a Bachelors of Fine Arts cum laude in Modern Dance from the Boston Conservatory.
Emily Beattie has held faculty positions at Brown University, Boston Ballet's Taking outreach program, The Boston Symphony Orchestra's Days in the Arts Summer Enrichment, Salem State University, and Longy School of Music.
Beattie's teaching philosophy encourages questions, experimentation, and creativity while keeping technique in the foreground.Teaching children, teens, adults, students over 55 years old and non-english speakers has developed her well rounded classroom experience. Her process of learning as she shares her passion for dance remains overt.
