Tanya first fell in love with dance at age three. Today, she co-owns Studio de Danse Danielle along with her sister Karin. She is the founder and creative force behind Children in Motion, a movement and dance program that provides age-appropriate dance and movement instruction across the Outaouais region, and she is a dance competition adjudicator. Trained at leading dance schools (Belleville’s Quinte Ballet and École Superieur in Montreal), Tanya has also completed advanced levels of examinations in RAD and CDTA. She is now a certified and accredited ADAPT Syllabus teacher, and she is committed to ensuring all students, whether in competitive or recreational dance, receive quality training. Many of the competitive students she has coached have achieved national titles, competed internationally, and gone on professionally in dance. In 2019, three of her dancers competed in Révolution, a televised dance competition in Quebec. Overall, Tanya’s focus is in creating an environment where children can learn something different and grow up fit and healthy. She frequently uses her background in Early Childhood Education to develop not only students’ dance skills but also their emotional and physical well being. Proud to be a teacher and mentor, Tanya also has an in-depth knowledge of health and fitness and provides ongoing strength and conditioning training to her advanced athletes to provide them with well-rounded coaching and, most importantly, to avoid injuries often found in high-performance dancers.
