Rise to Stardom
According to Amymarie Gaertner, she began dancing the first time she listened to music as a child. However, her earliest memory is of dancing around the kitchen and the house when she was about four years old. She began practicing dancing in the basement of her house as the stereo system was installed there. Ever since, she has been dancing there and has made a little studio for herself there. She was never shy to dance in front of the public, which is why she eventually began participating in talent shows and performing at events.
She had a YouTube channel since February 2008, but began posting little clips from her performances at various talent shows in early 2011. After Vine came out in January 2013, she was one of the first people to try out the new platform by March that year. She made her first Vine, a stop-motion video, from her basement and continued to make videos of her dog, her cat, car rides and her visits to concerts to share with the handful of her followers, mostly friends. After she posted a video of her dancing, it went viral overnight and her Vine profile attracted about a million fans within a month. She had an impressive 4.5 million fans on Vine before the app was shut down by parent company Twitter in January 2017. She currently boasts of 1.5 million followers on Instagram, 581k subscribers on YouTube, and 532k fans on Facebook.

What Makes Amymarie Special
Amymarie Gaertner is well known for spontaneously breaking into dance whenever there is good music playing. Unlike many other dancers on the social media and the entertainment industry, she is not professionally trained, and learned her dance steps by practicing regularly in her basement. As a result her dance is mostly freestyle, rather than choreographed. When it comes to her Vines, she usually recorded herself dancing to a tune and later cut out the best six seconds from the clip to fit the time restrictions of the platform. She is known for collaborating with other popular social media stars such as Logan Paul, Thomas Sanders, Jake Foushee, MaddChadd and Du-Shaunt Stegall, a.k.a. Fik-Shun.
Personal Life
Amymarie Gaertner was born on August 5, 1994 in a small town in Ohio, United States. She grew up listening to 60s and 70s rock, country, acoustic, dubstep and mainstream music on the radio and appreciates diverse musical styles. She has been dancing in the basement of her house since she was a child. She can also play the drums, but doesn't consider herself a drummer. She had a dog named Ginger, but lost it a while ago. She now has two cats named Lucky and Brownie. Despite the fact that she is from Ohio, she often gets comments from fans that they like her Texan accent. She can speak a little bit of Spanish.
She is a close friend of another very popular social media star, Logan Paul, whom she had met through Vine. During those initial days on the platform, they often made videos together, which made fans curious if the two were dating. She clarified in a Q&A video posted in February 2014 that after meeting through Vine, they realized that they lived really close and began to hang out more often. They made a lot of Vines together and eventually became friends. However, she added that they were not romantically involved.
