About Tahira A.

I am a professional dancer. I have worked with professional Dance companies and developed my own dance company as well as becoming a VIP Dance Director for Disney. I also teach in elementary, middle and high schools as a dance coach. I love teaching private lessons and developing beginner dancers careers. I have been featured in many dance articles and worked on tour. I have enjoyed my career as a dancer. I have created a unique fusion of my various dance foundations in ballet, Jazz, modern and hip hop to create fun dance routines that keep students enjoying, learning and expressing movement through dance. I have strategically aligned my background in dance with an equally strong background in sports medicine. My background as a dancer combined with my sports medicine background gives me a unique advantage to train dancers in a safe and natural way to ensure a long lasting dance career. Allow me to help you explore your creative passion or new found love of dance 🦋
