Amanda

About
Amanda is the main antagonist of The Next Step. Amanda is the dance captain of Elite with Tess. She was always so cruel to The Next Step, but she ends up joining The Next Step Dance Studio

In the episode Game On, Amanda auditioned for the female soloist, with Michelle leaving the studio, to ensure that nobody else would be rehearsing for it when she left. Also, at the end of the episode, Kate asked Amanda to be the new dance captain after taking the position away from Emily. This means that Amanda now has dance captaincy and the female soloist for Nationals and a lot of control over the Next Step.

In the episode Just Dance, Amanda is finally exposed and leaves The Next Step, going back to Elite and leaving them with only nine dancers and assured that they can't go to Nationals now. However Michelle comes back to the studio, they can therefore go to Nationals and face Elite.

Amanda was known for being mean seeing how she was planning to kick out Emily on before going to Regionals when Emily was apart of Elite. She had also made fun of Emily multiple times because of Emily's inability to learn dance moves so quickly. Amanda is over confident because she, minoshi and Elite bought their tickets to nationals before even winning Regionals. She is now much more friendly and seems to be a better person and her future at The Next Step looks bright. but after Hunter and Eldon's dance battle she comes out of a room and takes her cell phone that she was recording and gives an evil look as she watches the recording.

Episodes later, Amanda's cover is blown by Riley and Chloe with a five-dollar bill that Margie drew on. She reveals that she is still at Elite, with her intentions on breaking the studio from the inside.

During the Nationals, Amanda becomes infuriated when Lucien orders Tess to mess with Michelle during the female solo (which both Amanda and Michelle are apart). She wants to win fairly, and not by cheating. At that moment, Amanda sees the potential in Tess and Lucien, leaving her frustrated and livid, but Michelle gets there on time. They compete fairly, and Michelle wins. TNS moves on to finals and faces LOD, but with Emily's injury they almost forfeit but then Amanda walks in and agrees to dance with them. TNS wins and Amanda is now happy and says that The Next Step is her friends.
