Tiffany Hopper,
Company Co-Director

Tiffany Hopper is a graduate of Chris Collins Dance Studio and Dance Master's Teacher Training School, which is held at the University of Buffalo. She is also a member of Dance Masters of America, and is currently the President of the Mid-Atlantic Chapter 17. Tiffany has an extensive background in jazz, musical theatre, lyrical, and poms, as well as ballet and tap. As a student, she won numerous awards, including the Stars of Tomorrow Overall Grand Champion. She was crowned the 1996 Student of the Year. Since that time she has continued her dance studies, with a focus on education. In 2007, she was the recipient of the Janet Bachna Scholarship award at the Dance Masters of America Teacher Training School. In 2008, Tiffany continued her studies at T.T.S. as a graduate student, on scholarship. She has won numerous choreography awards and has brought home many “entertainment awards” for the studio. Tiffany's creative choreography has also earned many special judges awards in competition. Many of Tiffany's soloists at CCDS have won regional titles, and in 2012 and again in 2013, one of her soloists was crowned a National Title Holder. She has taught workshop classes, and choreographed the opening number for Chapter 17's Title Pageant.

Tiffany has recently added judging dance competitions to her repertoire. She has enjoyed judging in different locations around the United States, and finds it thrilling to get to meet new dancers and teachers from different backgrounds. While Tiffany loves working with our Dance Company classes, she also adores teaching our youngest dancers. Whether or not a child continues dancing once they leave the studio, Tiffany hopes that she can instill in them a love and appreciation of dance that will last their lifetime.
