About Emma Leech

Emma Leech has been dancing and teaching 5Rhythms® for over 30 years, trained by Gabrielle Roth in 2001. Her journey began as a path of self-healing, and has grown into a life devoted to exploring the human spirit through movement.

Her work spans communities around the world: from prisons, addiction recovery centers, and youth-at-risk programs in London, to children in the slums of Kolkata, India. Each experience has deepened her understanding of resilience, humanity, and the transformative power of dance.

Emma is among a select few certified to teach Gabrielle Roth’s advanced God, Sex & the Body map, exploring the six masculine and feminine archetypes. She integrates this study with performance, including burlesque and clowning, bringing humour, playfulness, and raw presence into her classes.

Rooted in compassion and creativity, Emma’s teaching transforms movement into art, healing, and self-discovery — inviting every dancer to step fully into their essence.
