Amber Camilleri

I started dancing at the age of three, training in many different dance styles including ballet, contemporary, lyrical, tap, jazz and acrobatics.I completed my Intermediate to Advanced RAD examinations with Distinction, Grade 1-5 Cecchetti examinations with Honours and achieved High Distinctions in my level 2-6 Glenn Wood Tap exams.In 2011, I travelled to America and got to perform at Disneyland and Universal Studios and be taught by industry professionals at LA Dance centre. In 2013, I commenced full-time dance training with Sydney Ballet School on a full scholarship where I focused on training in classical ballet, Martha graham contemporary, neon classical, pas de deux and variation coaching. I was lucky enough to be coached by former principal artists and well-respected choreographers and adjudicators including Madeleine Eastoe, Claire Phipps-Males, Josef Brown, Wim Broeckx, Gilli O’Connell, Tanya Pearson and Marie Walton-Mahon.I was a finalist in the Isobel Anderson Awards in 2015, receiving 3rd Place for Advanced 1 and was offered a placement at the Australian ballet Interstate Training Program, Queensland Ballet School and the Dutch National Ballet School (HET).At the age of 15, I started student teaching where I grew a love for expressing my passion for dance to others. Since moving to the Illawarra, I continued to develop my skills as a teacher and completed my Certificate IV in Dance Teaching and Management through the Australian College of Dance in 2018. In 2021 I commenced my AcroDance training and qualifications through Acrobaticarts and am now a certified teacher (AAC1) for Primary to Level 6.I work with Fit Futures Australia and am going into my 5th year teaching with Amanda Lee school of dance.
