Amy Fabris-Shi, originally from Australia, once danced professionally in ballet companies in Australia and Singapore and Germany. While working at the Singapore Ballet, she met her husband, a dancer from Shanghai, who is the reason for her being in Shanghai today.

After retiring from the stage, the couple decided to stay in Shanghai for two years, which turned into 20 years later. Amy now balances both writing and ballet teaching careers while also managing a dance studio in Shanghai. They wanted the dance studio to reflect their experience of dance around the world, celebrate the power and joy of dance, and be both professionally-minded and internationally accredited while also being inclusive, supportive, and welcoming to people from all over the world.
