  • Tania you are a TRUE innovator of fusion style. Your authenticity and passion for every level of culture that you represent in your work is truly inspiring. In my opinion you are one of the few folks who really GET IT. Keep making your art, girl!

    M Jones

  • Tania is a super energetic and positive dance teacher. I always have fun and feel like I’ve got a good workout from her dance classes, but more importantly I learn so much about the cultural context of where these dances come from. Tania has researched extensively about the history of all the styles of dances (from many different countries in Africa) that she teaches. I am inspired by her dedication to cultures from Africa and I have learned so much from her. Nanaimo is incredibly lucky to have such a talented dancer, dance teacher, and cultural educator. I highly recommend all of Tania’s offerings!
