Amanda has been dancing her entire life...

Although it wasn't until the age of 8 that she fell in love with Latin dancing during a summer vacation in Puerto Rico. She continued to spend her summers in La Isla Del Encanto throughout her adoloscence where she continued to learn all that she could from the mean calles of San Juan. As one passion developed into the next, Amanda's inspiration grew from salsa, to cha cha, to swing and eventually to teaching herself some ballroom basics. In learning ballroom dance she fell in love with classics like Frank Sinatra and smoother styles like the Waltz.

In 2007 she began teaching ballroom dance full-time in beautiful Boca Raton, Florida. She taught swing dance as a healthy lifestyle consultant for the WEtv reality weight loss show, I Want to Save Your Life. A few years later her dance skills brought her to New York city and the Hamptons working under Arthur Murray franchises, where her dancing advanced to the next level. Her passion for dance still continued evolving, so fueled by inspiration, Amanda dedicated two years to study dance and culture in South America, primarily in Brazil. Her love for the Samba, Lambada and Tango flourished during her years abroad. She has since returned to the good ol' U S of A where she is now co owner and instructor of Celebrity Dancesport with partner, Kris Whitney. She also organizes naplesstarball.com and performs in various events throughout South Florida.
