Our Students Asked & They Received!
AMA is at the age where our older students want more opportunities to perform! AMA Dance & Music School is known for its Broadway-style choreography and routines with dozens of students performing together. We hear so many times from our students, “We wish more people could see how cool this routine is,” or “That was so much fun, I wish we could do it again!” After careful planning with the dance staff, a performance company was born!
Amy Probasco is the Company Manager. We asked her for her thoughts. She shared: “I am so excited to be able to give our students AMAzing venues to perform at such as Six Flags, The Allstate Arena, Navy Pier, parades, and summer fests! The possibilities are endless! Performing is a win-win for our students. It gives them some great experience as performers AND enforces that we are team with a positive role in our community!”
Auditions for The AMA Dance Force were held back in December. Over 51 dancers auditioned and 36 accepted the invitation to become members of the team. We have 28 student members in the Jazz Ensemble and 18 student members in the Tap Ensemble. Rehearsals begun in January and will continue over the next few months.
We’re delighted to fill the demand at AMA
for a Performance Company!
So many schools are focused on competition and winning, they forget that our role as teachers is to ENcourage, not DIScourage. Even reality TV focuses on winning. Instead, at AMA our priority is to enjoy the talent we have here, and share it! Each of our team members bring something unique to the table and that is what we prefer to focus on!
On The AMA Dance Force, everybody wins…
our students, our families and our community!
Let’s celebrate the fact that hard work and team effort produces winners, no matter what a score says!
