After relocating to Sandpoint, she became a standout member of the Sandpoint High School Varsity Dance Team, serving as Team Captain her senior year. She continued her formal dance education at the University of Montana, earning a degree in Dance with an emphasis in Performance and Choreography, where she also was a lead member of the University of Montana Griz Dance Team all four years.

Her professional performance career includes achieving her lifelong goal of becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader, earning a spot on the team on her first audition. She brings this elite-level training and discipline into her teaching and choreography.

With extensive experience coaching the Sandpoint High School Dance Team and choreographing for studios and dancers across the country, Amber is committed to developing confident, technically strong performers. At the core of her teaching philosophy is the belief that dance should begin with enjoyment and a genuine love for movement. She emphasizes that when dancers feel inspired, supported, and excited to be in the studio, strong technique, discipline, and artistry naturally follow.

As a studio owner and educator, Amber is passionate about creating an environment where dancers can grow, work hard, and still remember why they fell in love with dance in the first place. She is honored to guide the next generation of dancers at Laiche Dance Center.
