Double Twist Dance is a lyrical, contemporary and ballet school for young people ages 3–17. Established 2013 in Stratford, London it is now run at Forest Gate. Our dance school is run and choreographed by professional dance teachers Emma Levene and her assistant Emma Clandon.

They have been professionally trained in all dance styles, which enables them to offer such an extensive range. Both women have a strong passion for teaching dance and performing. They are motivated by inspiring new young dancers to experience the true buzz that dancing provides. Our dance school is truly unique and very different from the mainstream classes that are available out there in our industry at the moment. We are not just about teaching dance styles, techniques, and choreography, which of course are all extremely important. We are also committed to developing the ability to tell moving and engaging stories by using our bodies. 

Emma Levene has a strong passion for dancing, singing, performing, teaching, and choreographing. She started her training at a ballet school in Walthamstow in classical ballet syallbus in rad,modern, jazz, musical theatre and tap.  After studying GCSE dance at school and doing a BTEC Diploma in dance she was accepted into the highly respected Creative Academy dance college in Slough. Here, she trained in ISTD ballet, contemporary, choreography, jazz, and various other styles. To further her training she completed a small dance and musical theatre course in North London.

This gave her the technique and performing ability to work professionally and credits include dancing at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics and Addams Family musical as ancestors and various other musicals. Her other work includes ballet productions such as Beatrix Potter, circus tours, films including 'Fantastic Beasts' and tv programmed like Made in Chelsea, music videos and tv adverts. She has also performed solo and group performances at Hackney Empire and Millfie
