With her vast experience as a professional dancer, choreographer, musical theater director and arts educator for the past 26 years, this multi-faceted professional's work has been commissioned and critiqued both nationally and internationally. As a performer, she has worked with many acclaimed choreographers and directors, such as Danny Lewis of Juilliard and Donald McKayle of the Alvin Ailey Company. For two decades, Tami has instructed students of the arts, age groups spanning from pre-kindergarten to college.

Client Feedback: "Over the ten plus years of observing her in action working with all ages--early childhood through adults--she never failed to impress and inspire me. Tami is the kind of educator who can quickly assess and tune into what a learner wants and what a learner needs." Christine Caton Director of Education Young Audiences of OR/SW WA "People learn from Tami and constantly improve. I have also seen her work in other venues and found her work to be creative, constantly evolving, and designed to bring out the best in others while showcasing strengths that already exist. Tami is intelligent with deep understandings of people and the worlds in which they exist. I highly recommend Tami as a leader and an innovative teacher for learners of all ages." Jim Gutierrez Director of Theatre Programming Evergreen School District |
