Amy Petts
Choreographer Movement DirectorAmy Petts (she/her). I am a young choreographer who fuses contemporary dance with other styles such as hip-hop and jazz to create thought-provoking dance theatre. I convey stories through movement ensuring that every gesture is a vehicle for emotion and context. I want to bring contemporary dance into the musical theatre world and to nurture the humanity in dancers as well as athleticism.
