Tanya Montgomery

Director

I have always known I wanted to be a dance teacher and choreographer since I was five years old. My first dance training was in Monterey, California and continued when we moved to Los Angeles. My serious training continued in Buckinghamshire, England where I studied under the Royal Academy of Dance curriculum for four years. When we moved back to the States I took a break from dance to do cheerleading, dance team, show choir, musicals and plays. When I discovered I could study dance and choreography in College, my choice was clear. I entered VCU in 1988 and received my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance & Choreography in 1992. After a two-year apprenticeship, I was offered a full-time teaching position, upon graduation, with Royal Dance Company. In the five years I was there I taught, choreographed and was the night office manager. In 1994 I came to Dance Masters and by the end of the year, became Director of the Fine Arts Department. In the 13 years I have been in the DM family I have found a second home.

Tanya’s motto: "Dancing is just walking with Style"
