So Amber, you’re designing dance routines for our show, is this something you always wanted to do?

Actually, no. When I was little, I wanted to be a singer. It might still happen, but at the moment I’m doing 6 jobs! I work as a cover teacher at Bishop Ramsey School (Ruislip), as well as the musical theatre teather at Pauline Quirke Academy (Amersham). As well as choreographing Meet Me In St Louis, I’m also director and choreographer for Panda Players  Boogie Nights show; I’m a drama teacher for Mad Cow Performing Arts in Amersham and I’m also membership secretary for HLOC. I’m also studying for a teacher’s degree as well as learning British sign language at college.

Goodness, you have got a lot going on. What achievement would you really want to be known for?

I would love to direct and choreograph a West-end or Broadway musical.

What’s your biggest fear?

Balloons! I absolutely hate them! They are the devil’s creation!

And so what is the most daring thing you’ve attempted?

I would say that tandem abseiling over a 60ft cliff was scary and very daring for me, but hugely satisfying after I’d done it.

So what’s your proudest moment?

My proudest moment follows my lowest moment. In my early twenties I was badly injured in a car accident and was told by doctors that I was paralyzed and would never be able to walk again, never mind dance. However, I proved them wrong and my so proudest moment was getting through my first dance class after that accident.

That’s amazing Amber, you would never have known. Good luck with the show, really looking forward to seeing it.
