About this episode

Once upon a time, there was a little girl who wanted to dance and sing and shine in front of a huge crowd. And one day she would find her voice, and do just that… Her name… is Amanda. [This episode originally aired in October, 2021.]

She is a 2011 cum laude graduate of the Ailey/Fordham BFA Program, and also trained at the Pennsylvania Regional Ballet, the Chautauqua Institution for Dance, and The School at Jacob’s Pillow.
