    Ali Phillips Interview with Founder of BAMDance

    Ali Phillips Interview with Founder of BAMDance

    Ali Phillips is a passionate Dancer, Teacher and Leader from Brisbane, Australia now living in Toronto, Canada.
     
    Her experience in dance started at the young age of 3 years old where her local dance studio quickly became her 2nd home. Feeling a deep sense of belonging and having her confident personality nurtured by her dance teachers, Ali developed a deep passion for teaching that carried into her high school years. At the age of 17 she was invited to begin a dance class for adults with disabilities and parallel to completing her Bachelor of Dance at The Queensland University of Technology, she went on to create her current legacy - Bust a Move Dance - a dance company running classes for kids, teens and adults with disabilities.
     
    Throughout her 20s BAMDance acted as the vehicle for Alis blossoming passion for creating safe dance spaces, intentional dance education and Conscious Dance Leadership. She guided her company to perform at the Special Olympics World Games in Los Angeles in 2015 as well as being personally invited by Nigel Lythgoe to perform on both So You Think You Can Dance US and at the Dizzy Feet Gala. As a result BAMDance grew extensively across the greater Brisbane area and in 2017 Ali made the move to Toronto Canada where she began its 2nd branch.
     
    With directing BAMDance at an international level, Ali now spends the majority of her time training dance teachers on how to create more inclusive dance spaces. In addition she founded the Conscious Dance Leadership Collective which supports dance professionals in turning their passion into profit by making conscious and aligned choices. She is deeply passionate about personal & professional development and is excited to bring her 15 years of knowledge and experience to as many international dance communities as possible.

Bingeworthy and Practical

Stop what you’re doing and listen. If you’re a copywriter and/or an entrepreneur growing your biz, this is the crash course you need rn. Amy’s positive energy shines through as she gives real life big-time agency tips and secrets. Part pep-talk and always practical, you’ll find yourself pausing to take notes. Algorithms for search engines and social media are constantly changing, so be sure to subscribe to stay up-to-date on industry best practices. You know your niche, but Amy knows writing in the context of marketing. After 15 years of copywriting, I finally found a go-to resource.
Bonus: Amy is very generous in sharing the stage with other gurus in related fields. She turns listeners onto several other valuable resources, including her Facebook community Copywriting Girls Club. Have a question about something mentioned in an episode? Put it in the group, and she’ll respond herself. Now that’s what I call premium access.
