Summary

I’m Amanda Cook, and performing has been my passion for the past 20 years. I’m skilled in a variety of dance styles, including Hip Hop, Commercial Jazz, Contemporary, Tap, Ballet, and more recently, Cheerleading. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to train at some of the best performing arts schools and have been fortunate to receive incredible job offers and scholarships throughout my career.


One of my proudest moments was being awarded ‘Rookie of the Year’ for the NRL Manly Seabirds Cheerleading Team. Another major highlight was training to tour Australia as a backup dancer for the Grammy-winning American R&B group, Blackstreet.


In addition to my performance career, I’m also a trainee athlete specializing in running. Health and fitness are incredibly important to me, and I’m passionate about nutrition as it fuels my body and provides me with the energy I need to perform at my best. I truly believe that maintaining a healthy lifestyle supports both my athletic and artistic pursuits.


I also have a strong interest in fashion, believing in always looking my best, staying stylish, presentable, and maintaining good manners – all of which are important to me as I continue to grow both personally and professionally.
