Amanda is teaching at her dance studio!!!!
We are so very excited, and can not thank Lisa Clement, Director of Precision Dance Center, enough for this wonderful opportunity.
To say that Amanda is excited about this is an understatement. She is really looking forward to sharing her passion for dance with others, and can not imagine a better Dance Director to teach for than Lisa Clement.
As a teacher, Manda needed to have a bio to place on Precision Dance Center's web site: precisiondancecenter.net
She was concerned that she did not have enough to put on the biography, but once she started brainstorming she discovered quite a few things. It was fun to walk through memory lane and re-discover all the places she has performed, the conventions she has attended and the great dancers she has trained with and taken classes from.
Mom and Dad are very proud of you, Amanda!!!
Her biography was a little long, and was (understandably) edited for the website. But you can read the full biography below.
