Amy is a charismatic dancer who loves to bring the stage alive with her creative ideas. She has an amazing connection with young children and can bring the wildest dancer out of the most most timid child. Amy begins the journey with the little ones in Ready, Set Dance! and our Munchkins classes where they learn to move to music and other fundamental skills. Growing up dancing herself, Amy has a huge repertoire of styles that she has mastered, including tap, jazz, classical, musical theatre, hip hop and acrobatics. With a Certificate 4 in Dance Teaching and Management, a Bachelor of Learning Management and also a teaching qualification in the Acrobatic Arts syllabus, Amy comes to us highly qualified and experienced. She also leads the acro and tumbling classes alongside Peta-Maree. Amy is a Swiss Army knife at BDA and also helps out with admin work and generally keeps BDA more organised than all our staff combined.
