Amy is a proud (almost) native of Colorado, moving throughout the state since she was three years old. She began her dance training at the age of 10 and has been teaching and choreographing since 2006. She attended Mesa State College as both a Dance and Mass Communications major under the instruction of Melonie Buchanan Murray and Matthew Lindstrom and had the pleasure of working with artists such as Adam Parson, Caitlin Gray, Holly Lampe, and Leslie Meek during her time there. Amy moved to Denver in 2010 where she has had the tremendous experience of functioning as the Administrative Director at a pre-professional ballet academy and as the Competition Director of a competitive studio over the course of eight years. In addition to creating a number of award-winning pieces for her home studios, Amy has also helped foster the development of young choreographers in both solo and group settings. She has guest choreographed at a number of studios throughout Denver and across the U.S., as well as taught at numerous summer intensives. Amy continues to coach the Colorado School of Mines dance team, which she began in 2011, and has performed with companies such as the Aspen Santa Fe Dance Connection and Mind & Body Dance Theater. She also enjoys working with area high schools on musical theater productions, including her time spent at Arvada West High School choreographing "Footloose". She appreciates all dance styles but particularly loves working in a variety of genres including contemporary, hip hop, jazz, lyrical, and tap.
