Amelia Walmsley

Amelia is an independent dancer and artist based in Adelaide. She holds a Bachelor degree in contemporary dance, and has spent time freelancing in performing, teaching and visual arts contexts. Over the last few years Amelia has worked and performed both overseas and around most of Australia, in dance shows, circus shows, and cross disciplinary works, working with both other local independent choreographers and groups, and wider scale companies.

As a teacher she has taught it all, but particularly loves going back to her ballet roots, and will never pass up a chance to teach a ballet class. Over the last two years in particular she has discovered profound enjoyment working with adults and professionals as well as children’s classes.

Although predominantly trained classical ballet and contemporary dance, Amelia is well versed in the disciplines of yoga (Ashtanga), circus acrobatics, improvisation, jazz, Pilates, Progressing Ballet Technique (PBT), and tumbling, and has dabbled in other areas of dance and physical movement such as circus, aerial arts, pole dancing, Javanese dance, Kandyan dance and fencing.
