Amy has been fascinated with the study and performance of various stylistic forms in dance since she was a young child, earning a Bachelors and Masters in the field.  She has been a performing member of The Power Company, South Carolina, Tyer & Co. Dance, Texas, DanceWorks, Texas, and founded the fresNO dance COllective (NOCO) in California early 2010 where she currently serves as executive director.  Her performing has been reviewed as “breathtakingly athletic” and “crisply executed” (Dallas Morning News).   As a freelance performer over the past ten years, her aesthetic sensibilities and advanced technical training has landed her the opportunity to work with many national dance artists and companies, including Tyler Civic Ballet TX, Sarah Gamblin (formerly with BeBe Miller Company) TX, Christian VonHoward of Von Howard Project NY, Julie Bata (Mousso: an African experience) GA, Michael Foley Dance NY, Doug Elkins Dance NY, ChameckiLerner Dance NY, dance-for-camera work by Bell House Arts OK, Mam.Luft & Co. Dance OH, Out on a Limb Dance Company TX, and Perpetual Motion Modern Dance OK. Her recent focus has been traveling nationally for residencies, performances, and freelance choreography projects with a particular fascination in ongoing media projects.
