Tammy has always loved to dance. If music is playing, at least one part of her body is moving. After classes in ballet and tap in childhood, her dancing consisted of moving solo to her favorite music until college when she fed her passion with a jazz and modern dance performance group. She began partner dancing about 15 years ago here in Central Oregon, where she's lived since 2002, and hasn't looked back. She enjoys almost all dance styles, from West Coast Swing to Nightclub Two Step, Salsa to Argentine Tango.

Having taught west coast swing and salsa individually and in groups, and competed in improv competitions at West Coast Swing events, Tammy finds the process of choreographing and practicing routines with her DWTCOS partners inspiring and exciting. Her favorite things about partner dancing are creating and feeling the connection with her partner and becoming completely absorbed in the flow of the dance. Tammy is excited to be joining Sparrow Clubs for her 6th opportunity as a ProPartner.

When not dancing, Tammy can be found hiking, kayaking, camping, XC skiing and snowshoeing, reading and puzzling, and she loves to travel and experience different cultures.
