Tammy’s Bio

Hello, I'm Tammy L. Simmons, a passionate dancer and dedicated educator with over 35 years of experience in the dance world. I hold a psychology degree with a minor in dance education from Middle TN State University. For the past 32 years, I've proudly owned and operated TSD Dance Studio, where I teach a wide range of styles including preschool, jazz/tap combo, hip hop (levels 1, 2, & 3), lyrical/contemporary, boys' class, and acro/tumbling.

In addition to teaching, I've nurtured a competitive dance team for 16 seasons, which I started when my daughter was just 7 years old. Together, we've traveled extensively for competitions and performances, including memorable trips to Myrtle Beach, Chicago, and Walt Disney World in Orlando, FL.

I am a dedicated member of the Acro Dance Teacher Association (ADTA) and a certified instructor in the Muv Method. With a track record of excellence in dance education, I have been honored with multiple awards, including the prestigious Dancemakers Inc Regional and National Teacher Award. My commitment to nurturing talent and advancing the art of dance is reflected in these recognitions and my ongoing contributions to the dance community.

Beyond the studio, I've combined my love for dance and travel with personal milestones like experiencing MJ the Musical in NYC—an absolute dream come true! My journey in dance education has been immensely fulfilling, and I look forward to continuing to inspire and empower young dancers for many seasons to come.
