Hi, I'm Tiph! I come from a competitive and professional dance background and have been dancing for over 25 years. I spent 10 years competing in ballet, jazz, and lyrical. Outside of competitive dance, I have performed at Raiders, 49ers, Lakers, and Suns games. I danced with the Fresno City Ballet Company as a demi-soloist and soloist. For four seasons I lived out my dreams of being an NFL Cheerleader as an Oakland Raiderette. I was co-captain, captain, and 2009 Dancer of the Year. During my time with the Raiders, I performed in Iraq on a military tour as well in Austria at the 2011 Euro-Bowl. I was a member of the Phoenix Suns Dancers, where I choreographed multiple half-time routines and continued my passion for performing. I rediscovered my love for dance when I began my coaching journey. I have coached the Fresno State Dance Team, UC Berkeley Dance Team, and UCLA Dance Team. I currently choreograph for the Las Vegas Raiderettes and numerous college dance teams. I have also choreographed for the Phoenix Suns Dancers, LA KISS Dancers, San Jose SaberKittens, Central Valley Coyotes, and various high school dance teams. My motto is "aspire to inspire", and I hope my classes do just that. I'm looking forward to dancing with you all.
