Born and raised in Brazil, Tania has the perfect background to be the manager of a dance school. Dancing was her first career and she has been trained in classical ballet, modern, contemporary and jazz.



Among her numerous stage appearances she presented one samba batucada in the points, Aurora’s solo from “Swan Lake” and won a prize as a performer in a contemporary choreography.
At university she started a Dance degree however she decided to follow another field and she changed her course to Advertisement and Marketing which she completed in Brazil.
After six years as a marketing coordinator in a department of two big multinational companies in Brazil plus, six months doing an MBA, she decided to come to Australia.

 

Since 2003 she has been living in Sydney and has completed an Advanced Diploma in Hospitality with a Certificate III in Patisserie. Her newest hobby is cake decoration. Since joining us, Tania has proved to be more then just a reception manager and after only 3 months she became LDA’s school general manager. Her fiery and passionate personality together with her marketing experience and positive internal communication skills were the perfect combination to step up the management side for LDA, helping us to improve our administration systems and giving us great professionalism. In 2006 at the LDA Ball, Marcia and Jaime were honoured to award Tania as The Best Employee of the Year in front of a crowd of over 700 people.

During the day, while most of the time the school is empty, she is working behind the scenes, making sure everything is ready for hundreds of students be happy to do their classes. Dancing is one of her biggest passions so she understands the expectations of LDA’s students. And, to be even closer to them now, she is back where everything started: Dancing… but this time learning Bachata, Salsa and Zouk and she will be performing at the LDA Ball 2007. Go Tania!!!
