Amy has degrees in modern dance, kinesiology, and physiology. Her art and science backgrounds give her a keen understanding of learning movement skills, composition, pattern recognition, and systematic exploration. She translates that understanding into practical approaches to spinning techniques, highlighting the creative dance and mechanical feat that is spinning. She teaches spinning and knitting at venues across the country and is well known for her animated and engaging teaching style.

A note from the PLY team I walked into a blending board class that Amy was teaching once and I was floored by what all they were doing! Techniques I'd never seen before (or since). Everyone was thrilled with the class, Amy, and all the amazing bb rolags they created. Seriously, if you want a day of learning and fun, take a class with Amy!
