Faculty

Tish's dance experience spans over 30 years of education, instruction and performance.

From the age of four, Tish has made dance a central part of her life. As a young dancer, she studied tap in the classical style and owes much of her dance foundation to this traditional form of dance.

Tish has continued her dance and tap education throughout her academic career and served as a principle dancer in many local and statewide stage productions. She has been recognized on a national level as a forth-coming leader in the tap dance community.

In addition to teaching numerous local tap classes, Tish was owner and artistic director of TNT Rhythm Company. The tap based studio provided a focused outlet in the area for the growth of tap and other rhythmic dance forms.

In addition to attending classes and workshops in New York, Chicago, and Internationally, she has studied with many contemporary masters of the art. These dance professionals include Savion Glover, Acia Gray, Robert Reed, Nicholas Young, Jay Fagan, Roxanne Butterfly, Lane Alexander, Barbara Ryan Phillips, Debra Bray, Brenda Buffalino, Diane Walker and in Dallas under tap icon Buster Cooper.

Her established roots in the local dance community afford her the opportunity to participate in many dance and theatrical productions in and around the metroplex. Tish is currently a member of the internationally award-winning tap group “Rhythmic Souls”.
