Meet Amanda
Amanda started dancing when she was 3 years old and living in Burlington, MA. After her family moved to New Hampshire, she continued dancing in Massachusetts and her mother would drive her down weekly. Eventually she switched to a dance studio in New Hampshire and she danced up through high school. Amanda has always loved dancing and not just in a studio!
Amanda went to college at the University of New Hampshire where she had a dual major in Family Studies and Education. She always knew she wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Amanda is currently a 4th grade classroom teacher but has also taught 3rd and 5th grade in prior years! In her free time, she loves being with her daughters, Olivia, Shay, Blake, and Quinn, being with friends and family, taking road trips, decorating her home, and being at TVP!
Amanda will never forget when her sister-in-law told her about The Vitality Place! This studio was described to her as her perfect fit…dancing and all to the music she loves! Amanda started as a client and began her TVP journey. She became a regular at the studio and there almost daily taking dance cardio party, barre, and power yoga classes. The Vitality Place is Amanda’s happy place and she is so excited that she is a dance cardio party instructor helping clients with their dance and fitness!

I listen to music ALL day everyday so too many to list and from all genres! Dance music is definitely my go to from artists like Sigala, Rufus du Sol, Jax Jones, and Martin Solveig but I also adore Jason Aldean, Teddy Swims, Stick Figure, Rita Ora, Pitbull, Iggy Azalea, and Zach Bryan (to name a few!)

What motivates you to workout?
The music! I have always been active but music motivates me in all aspects of life including my workouts. It pumps me up and makes me feel good in general…now add in some dancing and barre, recipe for the perfect workout!
Favorite thing about TVP?
It’s so hard to pick just 1 favorite thing about TVP because there are so many! I love the bonds I’ve created with the other instructors and talking to my clients about life before class starts. Everything just lines up for me at this place that feels like my 2nd home…the people, the music, the movements!
