Movement and artistic expression with Alternative Synergy The Company
MOVEMENT / EXPRESSION / DISCOVERY

BEYOND THE EVERYDAY

WORK. RESPONSIBILITIES.
REPEAT. WHAT ELSE?

You can love your career, be good at what you do, and still want something that brings out a different side of you.

We make time to train our bodies, build strength, and develop the skills we're already good at.

But what about exploring the unfamiliar? Trying something without knowing the outcome? Practicing curiosity, spontaneity, and creative expression?

Sometimes the experience you're looking for isn't about doing more. It's about discovering another way to engage with yourself and the world around you.

Creative exploration through movement, improvisation, and physical awareness.

You don't need dance experience. Every private session is shaped around your interests and goals.

WHO IS IMP FOR?

DIFFERENT STARTING POINTS.
ONE PRACTICE.

Whether you're exploring creativity for the first time or developing an artistic practice, IMP starts with you.

01 / PERSONAL EXPLORATION

I'M NOT
AN ARTIST.

“I want to try something new, but I don't know where to start.”

“I'm so used to being in control. What happens when I don't know what to do?”

“I want to express myself more freely, but I don't always know how.”

You don't need artistic experience to explore creativity.

IMP uses movement and improvisation to help you explore unfamiliar experiences, practice making choices, and discover new ways to express yourself.

No dance or performance experience required.

CURIOSITY
PHYSICAL AWARENESS
SPONTANEITY
02 / ARTISTIC DEVELOPMENT

I'M
AN ARTIST.

“How can I access a wider emotional range in my work?”

“I know what I want to express, but how do I bring it into my body?”

“I'm working on something and I feel stuck. What else can I try?”

For emerging and professional actors, dancers, performers, writers, and other creative artists.

Bring an audition, a script, a piece of writing, a creative project, or a specific challenge.

Explore physical awareness, emotional expression, presence, and new artistic possibilities through movement and improvisation.

IMP is an educational and experiential movement practice. It is not psychotherapy or a clinical mental-health treatment.

02 / PRIVATE HUSTLE & DANCE COACHING IN NYC

KNOW THE STEPS.
FEEL THE MUSIC.
FIND YOUR RHYTHM.

Dance is more than remembering what comes next.

Whether you're learning Hustle for the first time or have been dancing socially for years, private coaching helps you develop the skills that make movement feel natural, connected, and personal.

Maybe you know the patterns but struggle to lead with confidence. Maybe you're following the steps without quite feeling your partner. Or maybe you're ready to stop repeating combinations and start developing your own style.

Sessions are tailored to your experience, interests, and goals, with attention to timing, counterbalance, lead-and-follow communication, partner connection, musicality, and personal expression.

Alongside technical instruction, Amanda can draw on the creative principles of the ASTC Dance Method, including IMP, to help you experiment with how you respond to music, movement, and your partner.

The goal is to understand how movement works, respond to the music and your partner, and make the dance your own.

WHO PRIVATE DANCE COACHING IS FOR

YOUR DANCE.
YOUR STARTING POINT.

01

YOU'RE COMPLETELY NEW TO HUSTLE.

Learn the fundamentals at your own pace, develop rhythm and coordination, and build confidence before stepping onto a social dance floor.

02

YOU KNOW THE BASICS BUT FEEL STUCK.

You can remember patterns, but want smoother transitions, clearer movement, and a better understanding of how the dance actually works.

03

YOU WANT BETTER PARTNER CONNECTION.

Explore counterbalance, leading, following, timing, and communication so the movement feels like a shared exchange rather than two separate routines.

04

YOU WANT TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN STYLE.

Go beyond combinations to explore musicality, improvisation, personal expression, and finding your own rhythm.

WHAT WE CAN WORK ON
TIMING COUNTERBALANCE LEAD & FOLLOW PARTNER CONNECTION MUSICALITY PERSONAL EXPRESSION IMPROVISATION

Available for individuals, couples, and dance partners. Beginners and experienced social dancers are welcome.

THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORK

THE ASTC
DANCE METHOD.

Technique gives you tools. Creativity gives you choices.

Developed through Amanda's work as a dancer, choreographer, and educator, the ASTC Dance Method brings together ballet, contemporary movement, street dance, musicality, improvisation, and storytelling.

The emphasis is on understanding movement, not simply copying it: how it works, what it communicates, and how to make it your own.

Integrative Movement Practice is a component of this method. It connects movement, physical awareness, and creative expression for artists and non-artists alike.

Together, these principles inform Amanda's approach to private dance coaching, creative movement sessions, and workshops for participants with different backgrounds and experience levels.

BEFORE YOU BOOK Policies & Terms Private appointments, packages & ongoing coaching

These conditions apply to private Integrative Movement Practice and private Hustle or dance coaching with ASTC. Please review them before confirming a paid booking.

Booking & Payment

Private sessions are scheduled and paid for in advance. Appointments are confirmed based on instructor and studio availability.

96-Hour Rescheduling Notice

Please provide at least four days (96 hours) notice to cancel or move a confirmed appointment. With sufficient notice, a prepaid session may be rescheduled without an additional session charge, subject to availability and applicable package dates.

With less than 96 hours' notice, or for a missed appointment, the session is considered used and nonrefundable, except as required by law. Emergency exceptions may be considered. Arriving late does not extend the scheduled session.

Single Sessions & Three-Session Packages

Single sessions are prepaid. Prepaid three-session packages are valid for six weeks from the first scheduled session.

Eligible rescheduled sessions retain their value within that period. ASTC may approve an extension when needed.

Ongoing Private Coaching

Ongoing coaching includes two 60-minute sessions every four weeks, generally on a mutually agreed regular day and time.

Payment at the rate disclosed at enrollment is collected automatically every 28 days, in advance, until canceled.

Makeup Sessions & Credits

An eligible session rescheduled with at least 96 hours' notice is not charged again.

If a makeup cannot take place within the current billing cycle, one eligible session may carry over to the next four-week cycle and must be used by the end of that following cycle, unless extended by ASTC.

Rescheduling does not automatically move the recurring billing date.

Renewal, Cancellation & Pauses

You may cancel future automatic renewals before your next scheduled charge using the cancellation method provided at enrollment or by emailing info@altsynergy.com .

Canceling future renewals does not cancel sessions already paid for. Planned pauses may be arranged by agreement before the next billing date.

Any recurring price change will be communicated in advance, subject to applicable notice and consent requirements.

If ASTC Changes or Cancels Your Appointment

If ASTC cancels a confirmed appointment, you may reschedule at no additional charge. If an appropriate alternative or eligible makeup cannot reasonably be arranged, ASTC will offer a suitable extension, credit, or refund for the affected session.

Nothing here limits rights under applicable law.
