Hi, I’m Amber Fitkin! I’m a passionate and energetic dance instructor with a lifelong love for movement and expression. I specialize in jazz, tap, ballet, lyrical, contemporary, pointe, and cheer, and I’ve been blessed to work with dancers of all ages and levels. Teaching dance is truly my passion, and my goal is always to bring energy, creativity, and care into every class I teach.Over the years, I’ve taught and choreographed for students from ages 2 to 18. Whether I’m working with beginners or competitive dancers, I focus on building strong technique while creating a fun, supportive environment. Helping students gain confidence and feel proud of their progress is the most rewarding part of what I do. I’ve also had the chance to perform in amazing opportunities like the Outback Bowl Halftime Show and on board Carnival Cruise Line, and I bring that same level of excitement and professionalism to every rehearsal and recital. Whether I’m choreographing a routine, mentoring a new dancer, or leading a class, my top priority is always to create a positive space where every student feels seen, encouraged, and inspired.
