Amy teaches tap and works as a choreographer on the BA Musical Theatre course at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. Her teaching is rooted in rhythmic precision and musicality, supported by her background as a musician (clarinet and piano).
She focuses on developing confident, expressive performers with strong technical clarity, stylistic understanding, and a defined sense of performance identity. Amy aims to equip students to become versatile, adaptable artists prepared for a diverse range of professional contexts.
