ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | SOLOIST
Emily Seymour
STAATSBALLETT HANNOVER, GERMANY | TPA ALUMNA
We are proud to celebrate TPA alumna Emily Seymour, now a soloist with Staatsballett Hannover in Germany.
Emily trained full time with us at Tanya Pearson Academy, where she represented TPA at the Prix de Lausanne in Switzerland, the Youth America Grand Prix in New York and the Alana Haines Awards in New Zealand.
In 2018 Emily joined Sydney Dance Company, where she danced for seven years before moving to Germany in 2025 to join Staatsballett Hannover under the direction of Goyo Montero. This season she dances Julia in Goyo Montero’s Romeo und Julia at the Staatsoper Hannover.
“The experiences that were given to us at TPA were second to none and I thank not only Mrs P but each teacher for their time and effort put into their students. While I was training full time at TPA, I was extremely lucky to be able to compete at the Prix De Lausanne in Switzerland, Youth America Grand Prix in NYC twice and Alana Haines in New Zealand. Being able to represent Tanya Pearson in those competitions were by far the most incredible and life changing experiences.”EMILY SEYMOUR
Emily, the whole TPA family is so proud of you, and we love following your journey on stage.
