Episode 26 - Amy @amyyconte In Episode 26 of The Shuffle Curious Podcast, we meet Amy Conte, a natural leader with a passion for dance that has shaped her life's journey. With a background in leadership roles, being in a sorority, cheerleading, student council, and having a helping nature, Amy's path to becoming an instructor in the shuffle community was inevitable. Amy's journey into shuffling began in 2017, but dancing has always been a part of her life. She identifies as a versatile hybrid shuffler with a keen interest for shapes. Her inspiration to start shuffling came from witnessing the flow of Gabby Davis in a shuffle video and viewing other talented dancers online. The defining moment that propelled her into the world of shuffling was at Electric Forest in 2017 when she saw the shuffler T Mack going off on the dance floor. Amy's shuffling journey started one night when she got up next to her bed and performed the running man. She hasn’t stopped since! She sought mentors and tutorials to refine her skills and had significant breakthroughs in her first six months. In April 2020, she took the leap to teach and overcame apprehension, starting with free classes that eventually evolved into studio and festival workshops. Teaching is not just a passion for Amy; it's her higher purpose. Her dedication to education extends to her career, where she's built a personal brand and excelled in influencer marketing. Despite a viral video and overnight following, she remains committed to self-education and growing her brand so that she can continue to help others on a large scale. Looking forward, Amy aims to continue teaching and expand her reach to more festivals. She's established a website to share her offerings and is determined to prioritize her passion, freeing up more time to contribute to the community she loves. Join us in Episode 26 to explore Amy Conte's inspiring journey, filled with valuable lessons, dance, and the relentless pursuit of sharing her gift for teaching with the world.
