Meet our Founder

Love Dance was created by Emily Thresher who manages all projects and classes. Her personal teaching ethos of holistic dance practice and inclusivity is at the centre of everything Love Dance offers; from regular dance classes for children to community projects and fundraising.

Emily develops strong technical foundations in her students, while also allowing them to explore their own creativity and learn in a way that suits them. She values the whole student and believes that dance can help develop confident and creative individuals.

What do we offer?

Love Dance brings high quality dance training to students in our community through weekly classes and events, as well as working with local schools to offer dance to students across West Oxfordshire.

Our weekly classes are unique in that they incorporate multiple styles- teaching Modern Dance technique as well as Lyrical and Commercial Jazz styles. This type of fusion class allows students to gain an exceptional technical foundation, while also exploring a variety of choreography and music genres.

As well as weekly dance classes, we will soon be launching a unique performance company for dancers aged 8-18 years that delivers performances for community events and raises funds for local charities and organisations. The aim of this project will be to give young dancers high-quality training and performance experience, as well as an opportunity to connect with their local community.
