Amanda LaCount
Multi-Faceted Dancer
What are your dancing styles?
Although I have been formally trained in most styles of dance, my primary dance styles are hip hop/jazz funk, contemporary and tap.
What made you choose this style?
I like hip hop/jazz funk the best because I have more freedom to express myself and the technique is not as rigid as other dance styles.
When and how did you start dancing?
I started dancing when I was 2 years old because I had 2 older sisters that danced and I wanted to be in the studio dancing with them. In 2015 I moved from CO to LA to follow my dream of becoming a professional dancer
Any memorable dancing experiences?
One of my best experiences was dancing in Rihanna’s “Savage X Fenty” Show at NYFW. Besides working with Rihanna, I was able to work with Parris Goebel, a choreographer I have looked up to for years.
One person you would like to dance for or with?
I would love to dance for Ariana Grande with her choreographers, Scott and Brian Nicholson
What does dance mean to you?
Dance is my passion. It is how I express myself and I can’t imagine my life without some form of dance in it.
Do you prefer to perform or teach and why?
Although I enjoy teaching and choreographing for others, my first love is performing.
If you weren’t a dancer, what would you have been?
Another form of entertainment performer.
Describe yourself or your story in under 25 words?
Dance is my passion, but my goal is to inspire others. I started my own movement #breakingthestereotypeTM. I believe that any “body” is a dancer’s body.
My most notable performances include dancing with Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Lizzo, and Meghan Trainor. I have performed on DWTS, Ellen, AGT, and at Coachella.
Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?
My dream is to go on an international tour with a major artist and to continue choreographing
