Meet STARS Dancing for HEALS 2025 dancer, Amanda Hamner!

Amanda Hamner is no stranger to the spotlight — whether she’s presenting in a cardiology clinic, teaching ballet in the studio, or cheering from the sidelines as a proud mom.

A classically trained ballerina with summers spent at the Joffrey Ballet School, Amanda now shares her love of dance as a faculty member at Soles Dance Company. She balances her passion for the arts with a thriving career in pharmaceutical sales at Amgen Biopharmaceuticals — and somehow still finds time for tennis matches, carpool lines, and snuggles with the family Cavapoo.

Amanda’s heart for children and community makes her a natural fit for STARS Dancing for HEALS. She’s honored to dance in support of a mission that ensures children in North Alabama receive the medical, dental, and optometry care they need to thrive.

Let’s show Amanda our support as she dances for a cause close to her heart!
