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 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.

Classes for children and teenagers Emma now teaches predominantly in adult education but several of the original academy classes are still continued in some form by teachers that have trained and / or worked with Emma in the past.
