Miss Amelia

The SDA family would like to welcome Amelia Galindo! Amelia was
born in Tulsa, Oklahoma (her parents and only sister, Becky, came
from Mexico!) but grew up in Miami and later moved to Flower
Mound when she was 13 years old. Amelia began dancing at 4 years
old and after trying several activities, found dance was her favorite!
Amelia's first dance performance was the Mexican Hat Dance at 5
years old and has since been a part of many dance groups--a hip hop
group in middle school, the Rosettes Drill Team at Flower Mound
High School (while also dancing at Dallas Powerhouse), and a
teacher/member of the Hip Hop dance team at UNT called
Ruckus. Most recently, Amelia has performed in many Starmaker's
competitions and dance shows. As a Rosette, she taught their lyrical
and hip hop teams and held small dance camps for kids ages 8-13 years
old. With Ruckus, she performed at competitions hosted by Ohio
State and Oklahoma State University. One of her recent
experiences has been with the Monster's of Hip Hop Convention
as a member/dancer meeting and being taught by great
choreographers: Dave Scott, Napoleon and Tabitha Dumo, Marty
Kudelka, Teresa Espinosa, Lisette Bustamante, Flomaster,
Rhapsody, and Gil Duldualao.
Outside of dance, Amelia earned her BBA from UNT,
specializing in Entrepreneurship. She currently works for Champion
Mortgage and plans to return for her Master's this year.
Amelia is a huge animal lover and has two dogs of her own--a Llasa
Apso named Simba and a Chihuahua named Darla. She also has
two red-eared slider turtles named Mini and Falafel.
Amelia enjoys composing songs, writing poetry, playing with her
dogs, playing poker, bowling, video games, and cooking (you can find
her watching anything on the food network!) She would choose to
be outside anywhere the weather is great. She loves to travel and has
been to Europe and many places around the U.S. Her favorite
foods include sushi, cookies & cream ice cream, vegetarian sandwiches
and almost any kind of fish. She likes to go to the Studio Movie
Grill and Medieval Times. The most fun Amelia has ever had was
going skydiving at Skydive Dallas for her 21st birthday!
