SIENNA-ROSE AMER

ACROPAD ATHLETE

Berkshire Dance Academy

MEET SIENNA: Hi, I’m Si and I’m 11. I have danced for as long as I can remember and I absolutely love it. My favourite styles are acro and lyrical. I am lucky enough to have won gold and silver medals at the dance World Cup for the past 3 years and I have qualified again to represent Team England in 2023. My biggest achievement is winning an overall award at the dance World Cup winners gala for having the highest scoring solo in 2021 with my Acro solo. I have also been lucky enough to dance on Paw Patrol with Nickelodeon which was so much fun. I'm so grateful to Berkshire dance academy, EntertainArts day school and Elite Acro dance associates for my training and I'm so happy to have been selected as an acropad athlete. 

WHAT'S IN YOUR DANCE BAG: Fruit!! I always have fruit with me. Shoes, Ankle weights, yoga blocks and a box full of hair stuff, plasters and tape. 

FAVE ACRO MOVE: My favourite Acro move is a layout. I actually never use to like doing them but with the support of my teachers I pushed through and now they are my all-time favourite skill! 

WHO IS YOUR HERO: I have so many people who inspire me. As a dancer I would love to be just like Briar Nolet. I absolutely love the way she mixes Acro into her solos. Shes so strong and powerful. My teachers are also huge inspirations- Liam for always being so kind and always believing in me. He has given me so many opportunities and I'm so grateful to have him as part of my dance journey. Also, my Auntie who owns my dance school. She always pushes me out of my comfort zone and never lets me settle. 

ON MY REST DAY: On my rest day, I'm normally watching "The next step" whilst playing Roblox or chatting to my dance friends on FaceTime. I can't sit still for too long though, after a while you will find me dancing in the lounge or walking on my hands.
