Amie Barsky hails from Atco, New Jersey. At a young age Amie took interest in team sports including gymnastics, softball, cheerleading and track. As a gymnast, Amie competed for 6 years at compulsories and optional meets throughout the Tri-State area.

At age 18 Amie enrolled with the National Ballet Company of New Jersey and started her dance training. Three years of strong and intense technique classes with this ballet company opened the door for her to continue her education and training at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia. During her four years at the University of the Arts Amie was able to study all avenues of dance including jazz, modern, tap, improvisation and choreography. She also took an avid interest in the study of Kinesiology and Anatomy.

But Amie didn’t stop there…she was involved in creating original works for dance concerts and has had the opportunity to perform in many well known choreographers ensembles such as Milton Myers, Mia Michaels, Ruth Adrian, Wayne St. David and Gabriel Masson to name a few. Upon her graduation Amie’s hard work and dedication paid off when she was honored with the award “Most Improved Dancer”.

In her pursuit to her goals and dreams Amie made her move to Los Angeles, California. She has crossed into other areas which have given her the knowledge and ability to reach her own fitness goals. Being a Professional Dancer has given Amie the chance to travel around the world while doing what she loves most. In addition, Amie has had the opportunity to perform in front of more than 60,000 people as a Professional Dancer and as a part of several organizations including the NFL and NBA. Being a Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader allowed her to share her health and fitness knowledge with others through motivational talks and discussions within the youth community.

Upon her move to Los Angeles Amie received a full scholarship to The Dance Center, formerly known as the Tremaine Dance Center. There she was privileged to study with many of the top working choreographers in Los Angeles including Eddie Garcia, Adam Parsons, Liz Imperio, Jimmy Locust, Michael Rooney, Sal Vassallo and Malaya.

Amie’s recent projects include the exciting production of Xanadu Live, a stage adaptation of the 1980 hit movie produced by Amy Pietz. You can also see her debut on the big screen as an honorary Goldmember in Mike Myers’ latest addition to the family of hilarious films, Austin Powers in Goldmember.

When Amie is not training clients, teaching dance or gymnastics she enjoys getting involved with local charity events including Muscular Dystrophy Association, American Cancer Society and the Lupus Foundation of Northern California.
