Emma Gordon

is a Movement Intuitive born and raised in New York City. Her journey in dance began in an afterschool program at P.S. 212 in Manhattan when she first studied with former Ailey Repertory Ensemble dancer Ted Pollen. She went on to attend Ballet Tech: The NYC Public School for Dance and trained from the legacy of Feld Ballet. There she gained exposure to the steep standards of the professional world throughout her teen years, performing works by Eliot Feld, Brian Brooks, and Laura Careless at the Joyce Theater, New Victory Theater, Beacon Theatre, Delacorte Theater, and New York City Center. She attended The Alvin Ailey Professional Performing Arts School Program, where she trained under Director Guillermo Asca and its lush faculty, performing works by Asca, Adrienne Hurd, Stephanie Van Dooren, Jeffery Bynum, and Pedro Ruiz at the Ailey Citigroup Theater. She performed in PPAS's rendition of West Side Story in 2018, which earned the Shubert Theatre's award for best musical adaptation at their NYC High School Festival. She has since graduated with her Honors College BFA in Dance from George Mason University in 2023. In her time at the School of Dance she intensely studied multiple techniques and theories of movement, as well as dancing works by Christopher d’Amboise, Camille Brown, Alejandro Cerrudo, Rafael Bonachela, Robert Kleinendorst, Karen Reedy, and Director Susan Shields, which earned her the award for Excellence in Performance in the program.  She is currently signed with Stewart Talent 's Lifestyle department and has booked work with Vox Media, Coca-Cola, Starbucks, Con-ed, and Hairitage by Mindy McKnight. Independently she has recently booked work with Juice Generation, Azyr Specs, ProKeds, and Pavé The Way Jewelry.  She's working currently as a company member with Joyce King Dance Company and Go.Co directed by Maggie Golder. In 2025 she returned to Ballet Tech and performed in fellow alumni Edgar Peterson's premiere work "Lisse" for Ballet Tech's Kids Dance season at The Joyce. Completing another full circle to where it started, she has also taken up Ted Pollen's role and is teaching dance to children back at P.S. 212.
