My Izabell loves to dance, 7yrs old,  and when she heard there was a dance class happening during the holidays she wanted to go. Amanda was more than accommodating to our needs. Izabell had a great time spending the day with Amanda and learning some new steps and styles to add to her dance routine. She even performed some dances at end of the day for us to see.

My girls love their dance lessons at Celeste Dance Studio, it's the perfect place to let them express their creativity through movement and build confidence.

I’m all the way in Nigeria but I love Amanda’s grace, rhythm and creativity I see in Amanda’s music and dance and have no doubt she’ll do a good job teaching others.

Whakatane Dance Carnival Sat. 03 February 2024
 

Each year we invite a different Dancer, from outside our local area to perform at our Annual Dance Carnival. This year Amanda came and danced for us and also taught two dances.


 

She performed a contemporary Dance to ‘Up & Up’. This was quite unique as she had written and recorded the music herself. She also taught two dances which involved the audience and other dance performers. The first dance was for the younger age group and ‘young at heart’

- Cat in the Hat, and a second Dance for the teens and adults - ‘Hand Jive’.


 

Amanda was very willing to work in with me, as co-ordinator, to bring a dance style that wasn’t included from the other locals performers and also to teach some dances, targeting the different age groups in attendance.


 

It was a pleasure having Amanda to perform at our Dance Carnival.


Kind regards
