So.....if one is trying to plan a trip out there from Los Angeles......where would be the best place to stay?? I guess I should wait until the venue is selected, correct?


And any of you that are juggling in your mind the idea of attending Tiffany's workshop, I am just gonna say that it would be just ridiculous for you to miss out on this opportunity!! Tiffany is an extraordinary dancer, teacher and person......you will definitely love her if you don't know her already.

Hello ladies!
90 % of my workshops are held at Back Stage Dance Studio, and the close-est hotel is the Boulder Station. The rates are great and it is within walking distance.

www.vegas.com/

Vegas.com is the most awesome booking site for hotel rates in town, if you would like to stay on the strip. I often find rates lower than the hotels themselves are offering!

I should have confirmation on the studio in the next few days, so hold tight just a little longer on booking your rooms.
But feel free to log on and sign up for this amazing workshop today! Registration is open, and the class is already a 1/3 sold!

Thank you so much Samira for such a warm Las Vegas welcome...looking forward to the weekend and all of the festivities! Less than 2 weeks away.......and I am so excited for the line up of events ;)

Thank you Janie for the warm welcome! Looking forward to heatin' up the place and getting a chance to dance in such a warm and intimate environment...two days and counting!

Oh, Kendra was there too??? Shoot! Say hi to her for me Tiff!

I hope others here in the west start hosting you for more workshops!!!

Samira...you are way too awesome for words! It was more than an honor to work with you this past weekend and I am more than looking forward to the next round ;) The entire weekend was a pleasure on so many levels. And I was so pleased to have your little one in class...she is an incredible young woman already with such a strong role model as a mother.

My passion in dance truly comes in the mergence of artistry and technique and how each of those can become a personal gateway for each individual to give and receive such insight out of their craft. The inspiration was garnered in both directions this weekend and I was truly inspired by the energy, focus, positivity and receptivity of each of the workshop participants.

It rocked to have Kendra this weekend by my side. She added so much to the workshop experience and I am truly blessed to have such a loyal friend and long-term partner in dance. Tori...I could write a dissertation on....but to begin with, her dedication to this art form is an outstanding reminder that we have the capability of building the type of community we wish to see around us. That by being such a strong woman, who sticks to her virtues even through adversity, she has called in a positive group of dancers and has brought in such quality to the Las Vegas dance scene and I was more than honored to be a part of the vision she has.

The hafla was such an awesome experience! Samira, your dedication to maintaining unity within the Las Vegas dance community was seen through your passion and the constant energy you put forth to hold all-inclusive events for a variety of dance styles as well as bringing together the local community in the more intimate events, such as the hafla. I enjoyed watching each of the dancers as well as sharing my own passion in the dance with the group. Danya TOTALLY rocked to Nina Simone (One of my absolute favorite vocalists) and Tori kicked some royal a** on her improv set. It is amazing to see how versatile and adaptable each of them were stepping out of their comfort zones and truly giving their artist essence to the group. It was awesome to be a part of the entire experience.

And at last...The Jeff McBride Wonderground show was off the hook. It was so awesome to see how the show was put together and I was excited to meet Jeff McBride and realize how down to earth and truly supportive of all the artists he was throughout his career, as well as how excited he was for each of the acts throughout the evening. Thank you Samira for setting up this event, I had a blast dancing and watching all the other acts....and thank you to all the dancers who trickled their way to the show in the wee hours of the night!

A HUGE thanks to Tori, Samira and all of those in the Las Vegas community that make it their mission to maintain such a positive environment to help the continuation of growth and unity in the dance scene...no small feat and one that is appreciated and admired!

With gratitude,
Tiffany
