Amanda studied Choreography and Dance at the University of Winchester. She participated in their study abroad program where she spent a semester training in the US. During her time at University, she developed a passion for teaching dance within the community sector and specialises in delivering dance sessions to support well-being and for people with physical and learning disabilities. Amanda’s primary training has been in contemporary dance however she also teaches street dance, jazz and musical theatre.

By offering inclusive dance, I hope to break down some of the barriers to participation and give people options to join in just as much as everyone else. Exercise should be accessible to everyone and dance is a fun way to exercise. I will be teaching a different routine each session and I hope to see you at WheelPower class soon!

Liberate Dance

Amanda is the CEO of Move Momentum and has been overseeing the running and development of the charity since 2018. Liberate Dance is an exclusively wheelchair-based dance company.

“At Liberate Dance we believe in celebrating the freedom of movement a wheelchair brings to people with disabilities. We are a friendly, welcoming group for people with disabilities. We teach a range of dance styles from contemporary to Hip-Hop. Our Liberate Dance classes are far more than a dance class, we are a support network and family.”
