Tamia

I’m Tamia Corpening AKA “Ms. 2 Live” but some people know me as @Frenchie5678 on Instagram!  I came to ITF over 4 years ago!  I was in high school at the time and one of my mentors from church brought me.  I did not want to go! I thought it was some kind of church youth revival, but when I got there I had so much fun!  I had never danced hip hop before ITF.  Even though I came late, everyone at ITF was so loving and accepting, they helped me get it and be confident.  ITF changed my life.  My dad passed away while I was still in school.  It was unexpected and devasted my family to the core.  After he died, I started causing trouble at school and eventually got in trouble with the law.  I didn’t care what happened to me because I felt like “God took my dad away.”  After continuing to come to ITF it showed me a better way.  I met so many positive people and made life-long friends.  I started performing and I knew this something I wanted to do with my life!  Eventually, I was asked to start choreographing for ITF shows! Now I have choroegraphed for several independent artist, performed background dance for several known artist, been on national television with America’s Got Talent, and teach at a Competition Studio.  ITF is not just a dope place for teens to hang out.  ITF is inspiration at its best!
