Emily Tatoosi is a 12-year-old professional and competitive dancer. She started training in ballet when she was 3 and in ballroom at 5!
Her ever-supportive best friend and mother Anna Tatoosi is an interior designer by profession. She has always been in awe of her star daughter, and even took to Instagram to say, "You will always be surrounded by people who support and respect you❤ I promise you that❤".
Emily was placed fifth overall in the Under-16 category at the US Nationals Junior 2 as she enthralled the audience with some iconic moves and stellar choreography.
She competed alongside her hardworking partner Robbie Milstead at the California Open DanceSport. They won the competition in two categories: Junior 2 Latin Championship as well as Junior 2 Scholarship.
