Tatiyana "Ruby" Miles

As a native of Prince Georges County, Maryland, Tatiyana started dancing at the young age of five. Through instruction at the Northeast Academy of Dance, she gained a true love for the art. At eleven, she was accepted into the Hyattsville Middle School Performing Arts Program where she studied jazz, ballet, modern, hip hop and African dance under Nakia Espinal. She then went on to perform internationally, allowing her to receive multiple performance awards and recognition for her dance skills. After continuing to dance throughout high school and college, she strongly desired to expand her dance training and explore a professional dance career. Moving to New York City was the next big step. 
While living in NYC, she was asked to perform in elite choreographed pieces and also had the opportunity to train under Luam Keflezgy (Rock the Industry), Rhapsody James, Jessica Castro (Heels Intensives), and multiple instructors at Broadway Dance Center and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater. Tatiyana's experiences allowed her to not only advance her skills as a dancer but also as a well-rounded performing artist and educator.
Currently living in Washington, D.C., Tatiyana is an established choreographer, dance instructor, entrepreneur and creator of 'GoGo Feelz N Heelz" (a heels class designed for anyone with a passion to dance). She has had the opportunity to choreograph routines for young dancers of Extravadance Competitive Dance Company for two consecutive years and has recently become a lead instructor at DivaDance DC. She is truly inspired by sharing her love of dance with those in her community. With aspirations of teaching her specialized class, along with other styles of dance around the world, Tatiyana is excited to continue on this journey of DANCE!
