Tami began dancing in the 1997 when she was 7 years old at a local school club in Brazil. There she studied jazz, ballet and contemporary dance. It was her dream to become a professional dancer, and she continued training for another 7 years. In 2004, Tami began studying ballroom dance and instantly fell in love, soon becoming an instructor. Tami is proficient in all classic dance modalities, and ballroom styles such as Samba, Forró, Waltz, Bolero, Tango, Rock, Salsaw and Zouk rhythms. Additionally, Tami is also certified in all levels of pole. Tami obtained her pole certification in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, Brazil from the esteemed Grazzy Brugner school. In 2009 she completed her professional dance certificate from the Ministry of Dance of São Paulo. In the same year Tami started working as a professional dancer with Theo & Monica Company of Brazil, and teaching classes. In year 2011 Tami was contracted directly by the Cia Costa Cruises for a European season where she worked until 2014. During this time, when not cruising the open seas and dancing, Tami opened her own school for dance, pole and Zumba. Luckily for Twisted Bodies she relocated to Texas and found the pink palace to share her dance expertise and love.
