Tierni is a highly skilled dancer and actress. She received training from many reputable establishments over the years, however, Step with Style was the main foundation for her career. This dance studio has brought her many amazing opportunities to work with many amazing choreographers across the world such as: Stephen “tWitch” Boss, Stephanie Rutherford, Caroline Torti, Jade Whitney, Stephen Greig, Blake McGrath, Theresa Howard, Danny Lawn, Tamara Freethy, Devon Perry, Bizzy Boom and many more!

An incredible competitive performer Tierni was often recognized with scholarships such as: Conteur dance, JUMP dance convention (placing 3rd in the top 5 soloists), FRESH dance intensive & many more!
Tierni’s reputation as a performer has her personally requested by many choreographers & agencies throughout her career thus far. Her performing credits include: Starring in the Sci Fi horror show “The Strain”, backup dancing at concerts for Marlowe & The Mix. Also seen in the music video for the artists song “Life is a Rollercoaster”, assisting at the MOVE dance convention where she was a part of the “MOVEment CREW” and other amazing opportunities & live performances for promotional events and corporate functions.
Tierni has experience instructing ages, walking to adult- Recreational, Part Time as well as Full Time Competitive levels. Due to her leadership Tierni’s students are confident on stage, which has brought them great success. Her growing experience, along with her incredible training has made her an excellent instructor/choreographer for young aspiring dancers.
Tierni has always had a passion for Hip Hop and Break Dance. Trained by Mike Cota Tierni was one of the strongest members of our Competitive Girls Crew. This crew made it to Move Finals and was the first break dance crew to make it there! Her excellence in acro combined with Mike’s training has made her an excellent hip hop and Break dance choreographer (freeze understanding). Working alongside Hip Hop Break Dance instructor Billie Burke, she assisted to bring the SWS Boys Crew to Platinum recognition levels.
Tierni talents have elevated students at SWS in multiple genres to the levels of; Highest Mark for their studio, Move titlist, 1st Overall Awards, Best Choreography recognition and much more!
We are grateful for her dedication and are so excited about her growing career here at SWS.
Her goal each class is her students will love and enjoy dance as much as she does! <3
We love Miss Tierni!
