This past fall we were incredibly excited to launch our STAGE Brand Ambassador Program, and welcomed 4 hard working and talented dancers into our STAGE family; Tiffany, Vianna, Ivanna and Simona.
Now these girls. WOW. If you don’t know them you should. The time and effort they put into their practice truly shows when you see what they can do. They all work incredibly hard to be the best they can at their art.
We are so happy to have you girls on the team! Read on to learn a bit more about each of our amazing ambassadors.
TIFFANY EFIMOV
Tiffany is a little prima ballerina. Her technique is seriously insane. Tiffany is 13 years old and trains rigorously in Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Lyrical, Contemporary, Character, and Modern, at The Academy of Ballet and Jazz, AND The Canadian School of Ballet. That’s right, this girl trains at two dance schools. Her parents and sister bring her joy and motivation. She has dreams of being a professional ballerina; with her drive and commitment to dance, we have no doubt she will!
VIANNA VAITKUS
When looking for a motivated hard worker look no further than Vianna Vaitkus. Vianna is 16 years old and trains in ballet, jazz, acro, contemporary, lyrical, tap, hip hop and ballroom, at The Nine Dance Academy.
Vianna’s passion a commitment to dance goes beyond something considered a hobby. When asked what dance meant to her, she explained how dance is, “in her blood,” and allows her to express and, “explore who [she] is as an artist.” We could not relate and respect Vianna more for her passion and drive as an artist.
Vianna has dreams of becoming a teacher so she can combine her two loves, and teach both Dance and French. – We wish Vianna could be our teacher!
IVANNA VAITKUS
Ivanna’s bubbly personality warms any space she is in, and we absolutely loved working with this shining star. Ivanna is 14 years old and trains alongside her sister (Vianna) at The Nine Dance Academy, in Ballet, Jazz, Acro, Tap, Contemporary, hip-hop, ballroom, musical theatre and lyrical. She is definitely a force to be reckoned with, as her love for dance shines in every tilt, turn and jump – she loves showing the audience what she can do.
It’s no surprise that Ivanna’s dream is to be a professional dancer or fashion designer. We say- why not both?
SIMONA
One word for Simona – firecracker. This girl never ceased to amaze us with her leg lifts, scorpion, and bendy (we mean BENDY) back! Simona is 13 years old, turning 14 this January 31st! She trains in Jazz, Tap, Lyrical, Contemporary, Ballet, Pointe, Hip-Hop, and Acro at Broadway Lights Dance Studio.
When asked what dance meant to her, Simona described dance as a best friend, ‘it motivates me, makes me happy, it’s always with me, and I love it with all my heart’.
Her enthusisam and love for this art radiates when she moves.
With the kind of motivation and drive that this girl carries we know she’ll achieve any goal she sets before her!
