After
watching her little brother, Bubba, popping to Michael Jackson, Emily
Shebesta was inspired to find a popping class in Minneapolis. What she
found was Jason Noer's Beginning Breakdancing class and has been b-girling
for the last 3 years. Emily performed her first choreography on First
Avenue's stage with the "Good Girls" and learned to go-go as
well ;-) Shortly after the "Good Girls" disbanded, she was extremely
thrilled to join the very talented and internationally acclaimed Twin
Cities hip-hop group: Collective, An Integrated Dance Company. Through
Collective, Emily has performed at Camp Snoopy in the Mall of America,
Dance in the Dark at the Southern Theater, Hopkins Center for Performing
Arts, a 4-day Middle School Fellowship in Aberdeen, SD, Arturo Mile's
Variety show at Patrick's Cabaret, and the St. Paul Flint Hills Children's
Festival. Emily has b-girled and battled in Chicago, Kansas City, Iowa,
Nebraska, San Francisco, and New York. You may also have seen her locally
at: Bastille Days, Pride Events, DoomTree BlowOut, Twin Cities Celebration
of Hip-Hop, DivaRiot, or at Spring Street Tavern and Foundation Night
Club on any given weeknight. Last August she appeared along side B-boi
Seqal in a Slumberland commercial. Emily has also battled alongside Minnesota
greats B-girl Seoul and B-girl MonaLisa. “I have been inspired by
the some of most gifted female dancers in country. I am blessed to call
them my friends. Life has danced through me and becomes my spirit.”
–Emily
