Emilia Richeson

“I am a performer, actor, dancer, and emotive aerobics facilitator.

“Originally from WI and VT, I moved to LA in 2006 to follow my dream of becoming Weetzie Bat. I earned a BFA in Acting from Emerson College, and am an AFAA certified aerobics instructor. I have choreographed dance aerobics routines for the music videos of Alice Bag, Hayley Williams, Gal Pals, Shark Toys, and Wallows. I've performed my work at Weirdo Night, SORORITY, and many punk shows. I live in Los Angeles with my wife and pup!

“This aerobics practice is influenced and inspired by my dance and movement teachers throughout my life. I am grateful for the teachings of Marilyn from Casa, Dandha da Hora, Sarah Hickler, Jacque Mckay, Karen Quick, Kat Krafel, Luisa Frias, Agatha French, Jillian Szanfranski, Ryan Heffington, Jane Fonda and Richard Simmons who have inspired and encouraged me to stay with my body.”
