Emily Murphy-Instructor

Emily was born and raised in San Diego and for as long as she can remember, has always had a huge passion for dance! Initially, as a little girl, she began dancing competitively in modern and other classical styles including jazz, tap, ballet and even Irish step dancing. She has won many awards across various national competitions before entering her college years at Cal State where she graduated with her BA in Communicatons and Business Management.

She first found her love for ballroom dancing when she walked through the doors of Carmel Mountain in January 2022. It didn’t take long for her to quickly excel and join the team as an instructor.  Emily takes a unique approach to teaching by providing a fun and positive atmosphere while also at the same time, combining her knowledge and expertise to improve technique and overall feeling of different styles of dance.
