Tiffanie has been involved in dance since she was a young child.  It has been said that even her hair dances when she is in the moment of moving to a great song.

 

While earning a degree in Fine Art, Tiffanie was presented the Medici Leadership Award and performed in street theater, where she combined movement with gesture and poetry.  After graduation her intense interest in the west guided her in relocating to Mendocino, CA where she performed and studied Ballet, Modern, Tap, Jazz, Congolese and Afro-Cuban dances.  These dances fueled her inner passion and love for dance as well as helped develop her language of movement.

 

In 2005 Tiffanie moved to the entertainment capital of the world, sunny Las Vegas, NV and decided to pursue and perform lyrical jazz and became a certified Ashtanga yoga instructor.  During her time in both Mendocino & LV, she discovered she wanted to explore more partnership-oriented activities rather than exclusive solo work.

 

In Las Vegas she practiced the connection of two, competing and performing in Ballroom and Argentine Tango.  Tiffanie’s partner work earned her 1st place in multiple areas including rhythm: Rumba, Swing, Cha Cha, and Tango as well as American Smooth Foxtrot and Waltz.   Her dream of living in New York was realized in 2009 when she moved to Manhattan to teach Yoga and study Pilates as well as weight training.

Like her yoga instruction, Tiffanie’s teaching philosophy is designed to empower students by giving them tools that focus on solid technique, a clear idea of the structure of the movement and the development of the connection in the body that allows it to occur.
