We are excited to announce our newest patron Amy West, This is her bio and her career so far.
I attended Danceworld Stage school from the age of three, and trained here right up to the age of 18 . I took my BATD teachers exams in Ballet and Stage before leaving to further my training at The Urdang Academy where I would later gain a 1st class honours degree in Musical Theatre and Professional Dance.
Danceworld gave me the best dance foundation that I could have had, and also the best possible start for going into full time training. I took part in festivals, so teachers could tutor me one on one which was extremely beneficial as it got me used to being challenged physically. It was also getting me used to how competitive this sport is!
Shows I have been a part of since graduating in 2013 are:
Ensemble cover Mrs Santiago in Ghost, UK Tour
Ensemble, Top Hat UK Tour
Swing, Jersey Boys UK Tour
Ensemble 1st Cover Lisa, Mamma Mia! Novello Theatre, London
Swing, 1st Cover Lily St Regis, Annie, Piccadilly Theatre, London
Dance Captain, Swing, 1st cover Lily St Regis Annie, Ed Mirvish Theatre, Toronto
Ensemble 1st Cover Carrie, Eugenius! The Other Palace, London
And currently I am Associate Choreographer, setting up the 2019 UK Tour of Annie.
Without Danceworld’s incredible, passionate teachers I honestly wouldn’t be where I am today, so it is an honour to become one of it's Patrons.
