About Tia
Tia has been studying movement and dance for over three decades. She has been professionally trained in ballet, jazz, tap, modern, lyrical and acro. Tia also competed across North America as a child and well into her adolescence. In her adolescence, she studied at a private studio, was accepted and enrolled into two art schools (grade 7-10 and grade 11-12) and was accepted (after an extensive eight-hour audition) into the commercial dance program in college.
Her teaching career began at age 16. She was hired to teach in a local women’s facility where she taught Erotic Chair Dance and Erotic Dance. The studio had not known her age at the time. Talk about fate! From age 16-30, Tia taught jazz, tap and acro to children, teens and adults.
Tia began pole dancing in 2013. She fell in love with the way that it allows for full freedom of expression and sensuality in movement. She also found much appreciation for the athleticism and the artistry of it. It wasn’t long after, that Tia was teaching and becoming recognized for her ethereal and sensual flow in pole, chair and floor dance.
Her movement has always been inspired by club dancers, her experience in the club and her technical dance background. Tia sees herself as a student, always! She is constantly training, creating and learning. She values growth in her form and artistry. The physiology of pole and dance is also something she has an immense interest in, which reflects in her teaching style.
Tia believes that to be a great teacher, you have to always be in a state of learning.

“I am constantly being inspired and I am perpetually becoming a better teacher and mover because of those that I teach. I am always inspired by the growth of dancers but I am most inspired by their mistakes, or what they think are their mistakes.
Never mistakes, only potential for creation!……….
I always like to encourage questions in my classes. This is how I become a better teacher and communicator. It also sanctions me to do more research, which in turn can inspire new movement!”
My style of erotic dance combines physical strength, stamina and flexibility. It requires a sense of grace and technique. It promotes mental strength and confidence. I feel the most powerful when I can be sensual/sexy, not for any man, FOR ME. -Tia Jax
