As a highly accomplished competitive figure skater, she started dancing as a way to supplement her skating. After 12 years of homeschooling, traveling all over America, over 90 medals\/awards, and countless hours spent on the ice, she turned her focus towards dancing. Amanda found her love for teaching through instructing children at her previous studio. After a year of teaching 2-7-year-olds, she was asked to teach dancers her own age and above, both at her studio and at her high school. Through college, she studied dance and French, and then found Fred Astaire. Her background in ballet, jazz, contemporary, and hip hop significantly improves her ballroom skills, and she loves performing, competing, and teaching.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Website.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7101\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Website.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"9000\" height=\"3000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Website.png 9000w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Website-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Website-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/260\/2019\/06\/Amanda-Website-1024x341.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 9000px) 100vw, 9000px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":6939,"template":"","class_list":["post-6938","team_member","type-team_member","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member\/6938","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team_member"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team_member"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6939"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fredastaire.com\/westminster\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6938"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
