Hi, I’m Amelia, a competitive dancer with TLDC (Tee Lily Dance Company) and will be 11 in March.

I’ve won many competitions and awards, including Miss Junior Titles at Hotshots and Destination Dance. At the 2023 DWC finals in Portugal I won a Gold and two Silver medals – one of the proudest moments of my life.

 I train most days and study ballet, tap, cheerleading, acro, freestyle, musical theatre and street. This year I’ve been nominated for an IDTA freestyle scholarship. I’ve also been lucky enough to study at Bird College, getting a scholarship at 10 years old, where I was given the Best Company member award. I love being a student teacher in freestyle and street.

 I have performed with the English Youth Ballet in The Nutcracker, and in a theatre production of Bring it on! The Musical. My first professional role was in Nativity The Musical at The Birmingham Rep. I will be performing in Matilta The Acro Extravaganza with Jelli Studios at Move It and in Liverpool in April, playing Eric, a main character.

 I love attending dance workshops and conventions all over the country. Meeting other dancers and training with top teachers is so inspirational. CYD? has to be my favourite: at last year’s Super Convention I was given 3 Promising Dancer Awards, a Star Dancer Award and won the Dance Your Style Competition.

 Dancing and performing mean absolutely everything, and being a CYD? Dance Star is a dream come true. So excited to be training with the UK’s biggest and best touring company!
