Amy Bartholomew
Head Student
"I started dancing at Allied when I was 2, and it has been a huge part of my life ever since. From my first Allied show when I was 3 and a little green frog, to winning National Finals with my trio partners in 2024, I have had so many amazing experiences along the way.
The skills I have learnt from all the teachers and different styles of dance have allowed me to explore fantastic opportunities inside and outside of Allied. This includes taking part in festivals, professional pantomimes and shows, and intensive dance workshops. These experiences and the continued support have fuelled my love for performing and future career aspirations.
I’ve made lifelong friends and as a student teacher and head student, I’m looking forward to supporting and inspiring younger students and my peers in their love of dance."
