Live", performing at Coachella with Lizzo, performing in Rihanna's Savage X Fenty Show at NYFW, and most recently performing as Alana (one of Ariel's sisters) in ABC's "The Little Mermaid Live". Amanda has her own movement #breakingthestereotype which promotes body positivity and the belief that any "body" can be a dancer. Amanda's passion is dance, but her goal is to inspire others to follow their dreams.

What has been your greatest roles?

There would be 2. The first was performing in Rihanna's "Savage X Fenty" Show at NYFW for Amazon Prime. The second would be ABC's "The Little Mermaid Live" where I played the role of Alana (one of Ariel's sisters) & a Sous Chef. It aired last Tuesday on ABC and I was able to perform with Queen Latifah and John Stamos. Next up I will be performing with Kelsea Ballerini at the E! People's Choice Awards this Sunday.

Can you talk about the rehearsals, if any, for The Tattooed Heart? -

We had no rehearsals other than the day of the shoot.

There was some violence and strong emotions in The Tattooed Heart.  Do you think that added a lot of intensity to the film?

Definitely! It added layers to the film.

What was the most extreme change to personality, hair, body, etc that you have done to prepare for a role?

Often I play a bully which means changing my hair, the way I dress and my persona. It is difficult for me not to smile. An example is my role of Jenny in a new short film "Ali's Realm".

You were also in the Good Girls (2018), what was that like?

It was a great experience with a fun cast.
