Step Up Revolution[]
She grew up in Cleveland, Ohio and later moved to New York where she studied contemporary dance at NYU with Max Sternberg. She then dropped out of college and moved to Miami in the hopes of joining the prestigious Winwood Dance Academy Company. Her father, real-estate mogul William Anderson, the owner of Anderson Global Properties, is opposed to the idea of her trying to make dancing her profession, and instead wants her to follow in his footsteps and look into doing real-estate. This drives a riff between the pair, leading William to make an agreement with Emily that she's either a professional dancer by the end of the summer, or, she goes back to Cleveland and work for him.
