Emma's Academy of Dance & Drama is the trading name of Emma Weir and was the original name for the schools and classes set up when it opened in 2005. Over the years however, some of the larger areas of the business have taken on their own brand identity (see Albany Dance Academy, Aldershot, Dance Train, Forever Wedding Dance etc) although they are still part of Emma's Academy. Below is an overview of some of the other projects under the Academy umbrella, either managed by Emma or by other professionals that work with her.
