About Amanda S.
5.0
(7)
Amanda Spilinga started her journey of becoming a versatile artist at age 11. She took lessons in Ballet, modern, jazz and contemporary. After spending some time doing acting and singing she knew dance was her calling.
She started to achieve recognition by known choreographers as up and coming dancer at 16. She went on to receive many scholarship offers and winning competitions between the ages of 16 and 19. She was able to complete a year of courses and receive the certification as professional modern dance instructor from the International Dance Association at the age of 17. She achieved all of those while studying as an interpreter and translator in foreign languages.
She was exposed to street dance culture after traveling to NYC, which expended her dance vocabulary and was able to unleash her creativity.
Ever since when she was a little girl, Amanda has been impelled by the need to share her passion for dance with others. She began teaching contemporary dance class to all dancers, regardless of their experience in dance. That passion propelled her to join ASTC in 2014.
The company embodies Amanda's core values. It is comprised of dancers from many nationalities, backgrounds and dance styles. She is taking many different voices and merging them to create a story that will resonate with many. Since the company's inception, they have performed in clubs, theaters and TV.

Amanda is an amazing person , who is passionate about dance and really makes our autistic son feel comfortable when learning new performances . Our son has been with Amanda for 2 years and she really is # 1 roll model for him . Dance has given our son new sense of accomplishment and joy . There is nothing more important for autistic children then to be accepted by others and that’s exactly what Amanda is all about . Thank you

I met Amanda during one of her open classes and got inspired for more. Whatever is that you think you cannot be, she will make you become with spontaneity, attention and professionalism. Her style is unique ( no wonder her company is called Alternative Synergy) and she works with all levels. I am not a professional dancer but after taking her privates I went to try other classes I was really scared of originally. I did just fine and I was impressed about how comfortably I could pick up. Amanda is my winning card!

I had stopped dancing for about 10 years when I randomly found myself in one of Amanda’s classes. In less than an hour I was hooked. Despite years of dance training in multiple styles, the class was unlike anything I had ever taken before. I have now been dancing with Amanda for over 5 years and am still constantly amazed and inspired by her unique style and passion for the art. Her classes still challenge me but I can see how much I have grown as a dancer since starting with her. She’ll absolutely push you out of your comfort zone and past limits you think you have. I highly recommend taking class with her if you’re interested in trying a completely new style or want to grow as an artist.
