Tiffany ADAMS (Hip Hop and JAZZ)
From doing solo performances in elementary school talent shows, to competing in national competitions at the college level, Tiffany has loved performing since a very young age. Over the past few years, she has explored her love of dance by taking classes, attending conventions and assisting other teachers. She has been a member of the Washburn University Dancing Blues, as well as the nationally ranked Elite at Washburn University Nationals Dance Squad. This past spring, Elite participated in the NDA Nationals Dance Competition in Daytona Beach, FL. Tiffany’s innovative and sassy Hip Hop class at Point B Dance is electrifying. She is thrilled to be a part of the Point B Dance family, and share her love of dance with others!
SHON MACK (HIP HOP)
Shon has gone from dancing in his bedroom to performing in front of hundreds of people. The studio has become his home away from home and the stage is his addiction. His love of hip-hop is shown through his stylistic form of dance. He has been on Unity Dance Crew and now is currently a part of the Flare Hip Hop Dance Team. His love of music is passed on through his teaching. He is currently teaching at Fuzion in Topeka and has choreographed various routines for dance teams. He is ecstatic to see what the future holds at Point B.
CARLY MALSOM (HIp HOp, Jazz, Contemporary)
Carly Malsom’s love affair with Hip Hop began when she took Johnny Smith’s Intermediate Hip Hop class at the EDGE out in L.A. in the summer of 1998. Since then she has honed her skills as a hip hop dancer by attending many conventions and returning to L.A. when she can and using the dance club scene to show off - and maybe find somebody to battle it out on the dance floor. Carly has taught several Open Hip Hop classes: for one year at the Dance Factory, and the last two years at Fuzion School of Dance. She has also choreographed several award winning hip hop competition dances. While Hip Hop is not the only style of dance that Carly is comfortable teaching, it is definitely where her passion lies and she is super excited to teach and share her passion with everyone at Point B Dance!
