Amy Byington has trained in dance (ballet, jazz, modern, character and tap) in Houston (at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts), in New York City (at the Joffrey Ballet School and Broadway Dance Center) and in Monterey (at SpectorDance). For over a decade, she was the Director of the SpectorDance School and Youth Company and this past year she taught at the Pacific Arts Complex in Monterey. Amy currently serves on the SpectorDance Board of Directors, believing in their mission of "Creating & Presenting Dance That Makes A Difference!" Amy is passionate about teaching dance and choreographing for all ages and levels. She is excited to start this dance endeavor at the YMCA of the Monterey Peninsula.

“I've taken quite a few adult ballet classes in my time and can say Amy's are unique in the best way. Her barre and floor combinations are always very creative and thoughtful, which keeps things fun and interesting. Because Amy's always incorporating new ideas and movements into her classes, her students become very well-rounded technique-wise as well. I'd highly recommend her ballet classes to dancers of all ages and levels."
Alexis Han-Holdern (2023)


"As a parent of an enthusiastic dancer, I cannot express enough how vital this program has been for our family and the community. The YMCA Dance Program, and Amy Byington in particular, has not only nurtured the children's love for dance but has also instilled valuable life skills such as teamwork,discipline, and self-confidence."
Amy Mulgrew (2024)


It has been a wonderful opportunity for my daughter to take lessons from a truly professional teacher who is incredibly good at tailoring her classes to her students, making everyone feel welcome and helping them to feel that they are accomplishing something and improving. Amy's classes have improved my daughter's self esteem as well as her dance technique! To have a dance teacher with Amy's background providing classes at the YMCA is really remarkable. We joined the YMCA specifically for Amy's classes. My daughter has taken ballet all over the peninsula, but she prefers Amy's classes over every other studio where she has taken.
