Student Assistants
Meet The Team
Miss Danii
Since my first show in 2003, Studio A (previously Bryan School of Dancing) and Miss Amanda has helped shape me into the person I am today. With my newfound confidence and sass, I have assisted Miss Amanda with teaching the students for over 15 years . This amazing opportunity has allowed me to see similar growth and progress amongst younger students , which is truly inspiring! Studio A is a journey which I never want to end!
Miss Phoebe
I’ve been dancing with miss Amanda since I was 5 and have loved every bit of it and I still do. She makes me so happy and I always look forward to seeing her every week. She has not only made me confident in dance and doing what I love but has given me the best opportunities and helps me try new things. After dancing with her for 7 years I am now able to help teach the younger ones and watch them grow and building confidence just like me when I was their age. I can’t wait to do more dancing and teaching with miss Amanda. Miss Amanda has helped me be the best dancer I could possibly be.
Miss Frankie
I've been dancing with Miss Amanda since I moved away from my hometown in 2018. Miss Amanda welcomed me into her school and helped shape me into the dancer I am today. She consistently encourages me to achieve my goals and I'm grateful for the chance to support younger dancers just as she supported me. I can't thank Miss Amanda enough for everything she's done and I always look forward to her classes.
Miss Courtney
I’ve been part of Studio A (formerly Bryan School of Dancing) since I was just two and a half, and it’s truly felt like a second home ever since. Over the years, I’ve danced in 20 shows, helped Miss Amanda in classes, and more recently got stuck into costume sourcing—which has been such a fun way to support behind the scenes. Being part of Studio A has shaped me in so many ways, not just as a dancer but as a person. My confidence has grown massively, and I’ve made memories I’ll always treasure. One of the best parts has been the friendships—sharing the studio with girls of all ages who’ve become such a special part of my life. It’s more than just dancing here—it’s family.
Miss Abi
Dance has been part of my life since I was two, growing up at my mum’s dance school, Studio A. I trained at Pattison College, MADD College, and Bird College, graduating in 2023 with a Level 6 Diploma in Professional Dance and Musical Theatre. Since then, I’ve performed as a Production Dancer with Peel Talent aboard Costa cruise ships across Europe and South America. Whenever I’m home, I love assisting and teaching at Studio A — the place where my passion for dance first began.
Miss Ilah
I have been dancing for Miss Amanda since I was 4 years old. I’ve loved every second of it every show and exam I’ve done has made me the dancer I am today. I always look forward for my classes with Miss Amanda as she has always believed in me and gave me so many amazing opportunities. She gave me the love and ambition for dancing and I’m so grateful to now be able to be a part of the younger dancers journeys.
