Thrilled with her win, Amari was previously named Outstanding Female Dancer in Short Sharp Dance 2019 and in early 2020 in Spain, won first place in her age group at the International Flamenco and Spanish Dance competition.
Entering her dance film titled ‘Al Mal Tiempo (meaning ‘through difficult times, you need to show a good face’ which she thought was reflective of this year), Amari is keen to share her Spanish-Chilean background and culture with Australia.
“The flamenco is such a beautiful art form and deserves to be well known,” she said.
“I would love to help showcase it as part of the multiculturalism arts scene we have here and am very grateful to my parents and my teacher for their support and guidance in allowing me to have such a beautiful experience, success and I hope professional career in flamenco in the future.”
