Progression Over The Years
Creator of quality designs and thinker of fresh ideas.
Since 2000, Emma Mallam the founder of Motion Control Dance, has provided the Vale of Glamorgan with opportunities and experiences in community dance. Whether it’s dancing for fun, fitness or working towards a professional career, she has worked in both the educational and community setting. Teaching hundreds of children, young people and adults each year. Her motto for her service is to give everyone ‘A Chance 2 Dance’.
From 2008, Motion Control Dance began to grow into a buzzing community dance project with an array of freelance dance tutors with a wealth of knowledge and experience. Offering a range of weekly dance classes in different dance styles for children and young people of all ages and abilities. Our disability dance programme was established and has grown in reputation throughout the region.
In 2015, Motion Control Dance became a registered charity to advance the education of people of all ages, in the art of dance, through the provision of classes, training, workshops and performance opportunities.
With the lease of our new studio in 2017, Motion Control Dance charity extended its reach into the community by providing movement sessions for adults and older people. This increased our mission to tackle social isolation in the community and give everyone a Chance to Dance.
The end of 2019 saw our room be transformed into a fully equipped dance studio with a new sprung floor thus ensuring we are enriching lives through movement. The journey of Motion Control Dance is now thriving in our community.

Now, I am still working for the charity as the Social Media Officer, but also as an Admin Assistant too, showing how this charity provides opportunities for young people. As the Social Media Officer, I plan, create and schedule regular content for social media platforms, promote classes, work on social media campaigns and analyse engagement statistics. As the Admin Assistant, I take registers, record payments, respond to enquiries and send emails and make sure the studio is running efficiently.
Whilst working for Motion Control Dance, I have been given the opportunity to do many different online courses to further develop my skills and have been supported the whole way through.
