Amy started teaching as a junior teacher in Tauranga and continued teaching for 10 years gaining her teachers qualifications in Ballet , Jazz & Tap before branching out and opening her own dance school in 2009. Amy is now a qualified Acro teacher with Acrobatic Arts.
Amy loves to dance but especially loves to see her students dancing to the very best of their ability.
Amy started dancing learning BBO ballet from age 4 then progressed to jazz and tap and finally into Musical Theatre , hip hop , contemporary , lyrical & acro
She has choreographed 4 big shows for the Tauranga Musical Theatre including the NZ premier of Copacabana and 2009's musical sensation CATS and GREASE in 2013.
Amy is married with 2 teenage children (18 & 16yrs) who both have a love for music, dance & sport. She wouldn't be able to run her successful studio for the past 16yrs without her hugely helpful family support system and her very much 'non dancey' husband who has lots of patience : )
