Tamaira Sandifer
Sacramento, CA
As President of Studio T Urban Dance Academy & Founder of The California National Day of Dance, Tamaira “Miss Tee” Sandifer’s heartbeat is to champion the development of every child she can to build confidence, character & a conquering spirit that believes anything in possible. She serves over 5,000 youth in school districts throughout Northern California every year through educational partnerships & enrichment programs related to physical as well as mental & emotional health. Dance is the vehicle; her choreography includes a bold coaching style that triumphantly declares to each family and school she serves: DREAM BIG. Her passionate advocacy for the arts has taken her to the State Capitol where she partners with local and national civic leaders to bring arts-inspired, socially and culturally relevant incentives to the academic day. She works closely with Assembly members to ensure the arts are available, even in communities that are starved for programs. She created California’s National Day of Dance and many other programs to highlight the diversity and the power of unity through creativity. Studio T produces Hollywood’s most sought after young dancers including THE 2016 winner of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’. Her graduates currently travel the world with artists that include: Justin Beiber, Jennifer Lopez, Selena Gomez, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Usher, Beyonce, Bruno Mars, MTV Music Awards, Nick Choice Awards, BET Awards & more. As an entrepreneur, educator, speaker & innovator her message is simple, serve, give from the heart, love hard, and DANCE!
