Miss Amanda (Diamond Dancers Director)

I began my dance career as a gymnast at Walker’s Gymnastics in Lowell, MA. I continued on to dance at Westford Dance Academy excelling in Hip Hop, Jazz, Lyrical and Ballet. Along with Becky, I started up the first ever Chelmsford High School Dance Team. Becky and I continued our partnership as Co-directors of the Team and put together the end of the year recital along with several other plays and musicals and local performances. During my senior year of high school I was chosen as a back-up dancer for an up and coming solo artist. I was also the Lead Dance Instructor for Chelmsford Community Education. Before leaving for college, I participated in many volunteer and community service programs as a dance instructor. In college, I was selected to participate in the Fitchburg State College Dance Club, and had the opportunity partake in several genres of dance for 4 years. While in the dance club, I created and taught the Advanced Theatrical class and assisted Advanced Hip Hop for 3 great years and was voted Teacher of the Year my senior year. After college, I began my journey with Bates Entertainment Inc. as a professional dancer for their weekly functions. At The Phunk Shoppe, I am currently taking the senior competition team down the road to victory in several local competitions! I am also a teacher at the Dance Academy of Windham. As of Spring 2010, I will have obtained my Associates Degree in Arts: Dance Education. As the Performance Company Director at SDA my goal is to inspire confidence and self esteem in young girls through the art of performance!
