About Me

My name is Tina and currently, exploring dance is one of the most important things in my life. As well as studying to earn my BFA in Dance at UWM, I also teach dance lessons in Mequon and West Bend. I have been taking dance lessons sporadically since I was three years old, participated in college and professional competing dance teams, and recently began performing in Milwaukee. My goal is to open my own competitive dance studio as well as to perform with a professional dance company. Music is a large influence to me as a dancer, and helps me create new choreographies for my students at my work. Also, my students are incredibly influential to me as well, especially when I am feeling uninspired or inept. I value dance as a way to express myself and my creativity when the words aren't available. I like how I can transfer an emotion through choreography and transfer this sensation to my students and see how they express the same sentiment. Dance has been and will remain one of the most important parts of my life.
