Our NYC Partnerships:

Stars of Tomorrow Project INC.

The Stars of Tomorrow Project is a free youth development organization, that gives the youth of New York City the opportunity to discover the world, and the tools to navigate it.

Repertory Company High School for Theatre Arts

EMERGE125 and Repertory Company High School for Theater Arts - an audition based Arts High School in Midtown, New York - have been in collaboration since 2021, bringing higher level dance classes to New York City based students. Our company instructors take great pride in the responsibility of students learning and their accomplishments.We understand that participation in dance education will enhance a student’s creativity, critical thinking, discipline, as well as improve students’ performance in other core subject areas resulting in academic achievement. In addition, dance education enhances additional skills that are vitally important in today’s society, such as communication skills and problem solving skills which leads to conflict resolution.

Trinity School

An exciting addition to E125 programs was a Harlem Renaissance education outreach event at Trinity School coordinated by E125’s Director of Education, Kat Files. This collaboration began in 2023 and E125 recognizes that in our multicultural state and the diverse atmosphere of NYC and its 5 boroughs.

“[The E125 teachers] understand the challenges for some students. The way that they interact with the students is very encouraging. They help them to reach their full potential. Tiffany and her team help you to understand that there’s more than just becoming a principal dancer––there’s so many different types of things you can do with dance. [They teach you that] you need to be healthy in your mind, not just your body but in your mind too.”
