EMC Performing Arts Studio

EMC Performing Arts Studio Art Happens Here, Children Learn Here, You Belong Here! At EMC, we use the performing arts as a tool to teach life lessons.

Your child/teen will express themselves creatively, develop solid technical skills and form lasting friendships with like-minded young people. We teach young people the value of discipline, goal-setting and perseverance. We walk alongside our students, offering challenging lesson plans, unforgettable performance opportunities, caring instructors and individualized plans for success. While our program is known for training technically proficient and versatile artists, we are most proud of the poised and prepared young adults that we graduate from our program each year.

Tune into Episode 78, “From Miss Wyoming to Studio Owner Raising Five Kids in the Business with Tamara Howe” on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, or Podbean.

Robin sits down with Tamara Howe, owner of Tamara Howe School of Dance and founder of Ballet Salina in Salina, Kansas, for a conversation that covers her full path into studio ownership.

Tamara talks about growing up a self-described klutzy dancer who quit twice and came back both times, double-majoring in dance and kinesiology at the University of Wyoming, competing in the Miss America program for scholarship money, and an internship near the White House before landing in Kansas and opening her studio from two empty rooms.

She and Robin get into raising five kids inside a family business, what their sons picked up from being in the studio even when they didn't stick with dance, and how Tamara builds community through low-competition programming: one competition a year, travel experiences to places like Branson and Disney, and local trips built around professional theater.

The conversation closes on the friendships and lifelong bonds that come out of growing up in a dance studio, including Robin's own story of counting eleven EMC graduates at her son's wedding.

Let’s unlearn 5 dance myths 👇

“Dance is for girls.” ✋🚫
Truth: Dance is for every body. Strength, musicality, and storytelling don’t have a gender. 💪🎶

“Dance isn’t as hard as sports.” 🏈➗💃
Truth: Dancers train power, endurance, flexibility, spatial awareness, and teamwork—plus musical precision and performance. 🏋️‍♀️🧠⏱️

“You have to start young.” ⏳👶
Truth: Starting early helps, but starting now matters more. Adults progress fast with consistency and smart coaching. 📅⚡🧑‍🏫

“Dance is just a hobby.” 🎯🧩
Truth: Dance is a career, a craft, a community—and a path to discipline, confidence, and creative problem-solving. 💼🎨🤝

“Dance is only what you see onstage.” 🎭✨
Truth: The show is the finale. Behind it: rehearsals, technique, choreography labs, conditioning, and a crew making the magic. 🔁🩰🛠️

Ready to rewrite the story? Come take class, ask questions, and bring a friend. Your first step counts the most. 🚪➡️👣
