Having grown up at FUSiON, Maya has experienced the studio from many different perspectives, as a dancer, assistant, teacher, and choreographer.

She now loves creating fun, positive, and encouraging classes where dancers feel comfortable being themselves.

Emma Bernard

Instructor/Choreographer

Specializing in Hip Hop/Jazz

Emma began dancing at three years old and has been part of FUSiON since the studio first opened. She joined the competitive team at age six and spent many years training and competing in Jazz, Tap, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Contemporary, Modern, Ballet, and Acro. Growing up at FUSiON gave Emma the chance to experience so many sides of dance, from performing and competing to eventually stepping into the role of an instructor and choreographer.

Emma first became involved in teaching by assisting classes when she was younger. Over time, she began taking on classes of her own and found that teaching gave her a completely different appreciation for dance. She enjoys getting to know her students, seeing their progress throughout the season, and finding ways to bring out each dancer’s individual strengths.

After graduating from the competitive program, Emma has remained a part of the FUSiON family and continues to return home from university to teach. Being able to return to the studio as an instructor has been especially meaningful to her after spending so many years there as a student herself.

In the summer of 2026, Emma attended the Dance Teacher Expo, where she participated in sessions including Lines Redefined, From Culture to Classroom, 9 Elements of Hip Hop, and Beyond the Steps. The weekend introduced her to new perspectives on choreography, musicality, hip hop history and foundations, classroom approach, and the way movement can be taught beyond simply learning steps. She has enjoyed incorporating ideas from the experience into her own teaching and choreography.

Emma is currently in her final year at the University of Guelph, where she is completing her Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing Management. Although her studies and career interests are in marketing, dance continues to be an important creative outlet, passion, and a part of her life that she will never leave behind.

After growing up at FUSiON, some of Emma’s favourite memories have come from the years she spent dancing, competing, and performing alongside her teammates. She is grateful that her role at the studio has been able to evolve over the years and looks forward to continuing to teach and choreograph within the FUSiON family.
