At the age of 5, she joined a competitive dance team in her hometown of Brantford ON training in jazz, tap, ballet, acrobatics, lyrical/contemporary and hip hop. As she got older, she realized her love for dance and working with children as she became a teaching assistant and eventually a dance teacher. Currently, Tessa is a third year Kinesiology student at Western University as well as a member of Western's INmotion Dance Team. Tessa has received teaching certification in the Acrobatic Arts program and can't wait to share her knowledge in various dance styles with her students at TDM this year!
