Emmy has been hooked by dog dancing since 1998 where she did her first demonstration with her rough collie, Kiri, at the Danish Collie Club's 50th Anniversary. Since then she has done many demonstrations, with different dogs, at the Danish "Rideforbunds" (National Riding Club) World Cup in dressage, at Show of Winners, on the main stage in Tivoli, at the Continentals (European Championship for herding dogs) and at many other events.
In 2004 she was invited to judge at Germany's largest dog dancing competition Norddeutsche Dogdance Turnier. Since then she has judged in Denmark, Italy and England. At the first dog dancing competition in Denmark, Whisper and Emmy achieved the highest points of the day with their interpretation of Harry Potter. Since then, Emmy has constantly placed well with several dogs. She has competed with success in Denmark, Sweden and England.
Emmy has held multiple training days on dog dancing and she has written articles on dog dancing for several dog publications. In 2007 her first book "It's Showtime" was published (click on the photo).
