Also, she has worked closely with Michele Assaf, a New York based choreographer and teacher. As her assistant, Mandy has learned directing and choreographing skills from the best as they put on numerous professional shows.

She is excited to bring teachers with professional dance experience to the Ohio Valley.  Her heart is behind TIO's mission and is enthusiastic about the future.
