“Tammy is an incredible teacher and mentor, and was most certainly to me as a young student. The discipline and drive she instilled in me to always go further than my expectations of myself has had a huge influence in the professional and person I am today. I was always inspired by her abilities as a coach and teacher, and trusted in her so much as a student. I knew she would push me in all the right directions, and then ask for more once I got to where she wanted, because she believed in my strengths and capabilities. I carry the tools and lessons I’ve learned from Tammy into my own classes when I teach now, and I am so very grateful for the role she has played in shaping me as a dancer, and the many many lucky others. She is someone who teaches you not to strive to be your best for her, but for you, and that is a lesson to hold close!”

“Growing up, I had one dance teacher that changed my life. She saw the potential in me that no other dance teacher had seen. Tammy challenged me to give 110% every single rehearsal. She never lost faith in me, and constantly pushed me to be a better dancer week after week. Once I had her, I became a much better dancer and was starting to get noticed by the rest of my teachers and peers. It was not about being recognized though; Tammy truly made me become passion about dance, something I now do not think I could live without.”

“Tammy is one of the most incredible people I’ve ever met. Her kindness and dedication to helping her students in unparalleled.  All my life I trained in ballet and when Miss Tammy came to teach, she changed our lives for the best. With new genres being taught, we were able to find a new side of dance and ourselves. I learned so much about pushing myself beyond what I thought was possible as I had to take risks and always give my all.  Miss Tammy is part of the reason my professional life took off and she helped me find my identity as a dancer through her love, support and teachings.”
