Amanda Warwick Dance Arts was created by theatre artiste, choreographer and qualified teacher, Amanda Warwick. She trained at the Arnould School, Chessington, Pamela de Waal, Paignton and the Marian Jepson College, Manchester. Amanda teaches the majority of the dance lesson and is vocal coach to pupils ranging from
six years to sixty six years of age!

Her first professional show was at Drury Lane Theatre with David Essex, followed by nationwide tours of The Fol de Rols, Snow White and later Grease, playing 'Frenchy.' She has appeared in variety shows and pantomimes, playing 'Principal Girl' numerous times, often also engaged as choreographer. She appeared as principal singer/dancer in The Marti Caine Show and in numerous summer seasons.  TV credits include 'Not The Nine O'Clock News', 'Butterflies', 'The Dick Emery Show' 'The Generation Game' and production on the children's show, Rainbow'.
Amanda formed, and appeared in the vocal/dance duo 'Quality Street' working in cabaret spots in England and all
over Europe. She then went on to play 'Graziella' in West Side Story at Nottingham Rep Theatre and subsequently
into the West End revival of West Side Story, playing  'Francesca ' in the pre-London season and then 'Anybodies'
in the West End. She was also female dance captain
Torquay by which time the Warwick School had already been opened.   When the pupils first became busy with
'Joseph and The Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, it was inevitable that the school would take priority.

Some of Amanda's former pupils have gone on to dance and teach professionally
as far away as New York whilst others are successful in radio and television
broadcasting both behind and in front of the camera. The school has now been established for over twenty years but always embraces new styles and ideas.

Amanda moved from Feltonfleet School to take over dance tuition at
Manor House School in Little Bookham,  with the option for their pupils to also use the facilities at AWDA.
