Tiffany grew up in Odessa where she began ballet at the age of 3 with Barbara Branson and Mary Phillips. When they closed their doors, Tiffany joined Dance Connection with Margaret Edmonds, Barbra Craig and Cindy Solant. After several years at Dance Connection, she joined TopStar with Angie Hurt Pasternak and Ballet Mistress, Jeanine Sobel. At the age of 16; she sought out a higher level of training, and began private lessons under Svetlana Stanova and Nikolai Semikov (former Principal dancers of the Moscow/ Bolshoi Ballet) of the Academy of Russian Ballet in Ft Worth, TX. This is where her passion arose to learn the Vaganova technique. Tiffany moved to Dallas at 19 and began training in classical ballet and art classes at Collin County Community College. After several years off Tiffany began retraining herself in the Vaganova Method under mentor Inna Stabrova (former Principal dancer with the Eifman Ballet of St. Petersburg, Russia) and most recently studying the Cecchetti ballet method under mentor Meredith Dunham. Tiffany is now bringing this art form to Odessa in hopes that others will fall in love and truly feel like the ballerina they were born to be in a caring environment.
