Dance HQ Perth

Dance HQ aspires to become an elite dance and training studio for young dancers and teachers which encourages growth, technical training and professionalism for an extended career in dance.

“It is my mission to instill my passion for dance into every soul and show them, they can dance.”

Amanda put on her first pair of dance shoes when she was 10 years old. Although a late starter she developed a love and passion for dance that saw her grow successful in a very short amount of time. She has competed and performed professionally for many years and in that time she has completed a Diploma of Dance Teaching, CSTD Jazz Award (Hons +), Certificate 3 in Education and Certificates 3 and 4 in fitness & personal training which she uses to help students have a better understanding of their body for optimal dance training.

Amanda teaches all genres of dance and has exceptional choreography and multiple progressive training techniques & certifications which has seen a number of children go from absolute beginners to National Champions in 3-5 years. She also has an extensive list of student achievements from age aggregates to “performer of the festivals” and a history of exceptional CSTD examination results. Pre-professional students have gone on to become successful in gaining acceptance into full time dance studies, university dance teaching courses, Cruise ships, Disneyland, Lido, Qld Ballet Company, and other professional dance companies Australia wide.

Along with these accolade's Amanda has over 23 years’ experience in the industry and has been teaching dance and fitness for over 18 years. In 2015, Amanda was acknowledged at the Australian Independent Dance Teacher Awards for her success and contributions to dance teaching and was asked to present her most recent National Award winning choreography.

As a teacher she wholeheartedly believes in ongoing education and regularly partakes in various dance and accredited fitness courses for not just her own professional and personal development but to share the knowledge with those around her.

“Knowledge is power, creativity is contagious, pass it on and watch the people around you grow to be amazing.”

Amanda’s ultimate goal is to offer a dance institute that offers encouragement, knowledge, advanced technical training and extended opportunities for dancers and teachers of all ages with beginner to pre-professional abilities. She respects the sacrifices made for the love of dance, what it gives to the children and has dedicated her life to spreading not just the love of dance but the important values and life skills it brings to every dancer.
