Tiffany L Davis has been dancing with June Neal Dance Studio since 1992.  She started in the secondary classes and went through every level until she got to the advanced class.  Tiffany’s first year dancing with June Neal she won student of the year.  Through her teenage years she was in the marching band as a “Dancing Doll” at Harmon High School under the influence of the late RJ Daniels.  Being in the marching band, she performed at multiple games throughout the school year and parades around the metro area.  And in the Gateway Classic parade in St. Louis. MO.  She also began doing praise dancing at her church Greater Jerusalem Baptist Church located in Kansas City, KS.  Tiffany began teaching some praise dances to the dancers at her church and still holds her the title as one of the praise dance instructors at her church.  In 2001, Tiffany was asked to be Ms. Wilda’s assistant with the intermediate level and adult classes.  The first few years Tiffany was really learning what to do and how to teach the classes.  Ms. Wilda began giving her a little more responsibility in teaching them religious and jazz dances.  She was also a relief teacher when needed for primary and secondary classes.  Tiffany has performed at many functions throughout her almost 20 years of dancing.  She’s performed at church programs, family functions, school functions, performed at weddings, in talent shows, participated in dance workshops, and visited some dance studios.  This year Tiffany will be the teacher for some of the primary and secondary I classes, she will also continue helping Ms. Wilda with the secondary II and junior levels.  Tiffany has gained a lot of dance instruction from June and Wilda and can’t wait to share what she’s learned with her students.
