At that time, she regained entry into the world of dance and has continued to pursue her goal of owning her own studio. Her hometown studio teacher, Miss Lou, created the passion in Tibbe through her caring nature and persistence in teaching ballet as the basis for all dance styles. Tibbe went on to dance and choreograph in her local theatre productions, direct her own fashion shows and model in many local shows, participate in several pageant systems including Miss Michigan Teen, Model of the Year USA, Miss Michigan and winning the titles of Fremont MI’s Gerber Festival Queen and Allentown PA’s Rising Stars Scholastic National Spokesmodel. She made her professional dance debut through Fred Astaire Dance Studios in Milwaukee, competing in Foxtrot/Waltz/Tango styles. Tibbe continues to train in dance and learn about the business management of their growing studio. She and Tim strive to make VDF the most accessible studio for all those with in an interest in learning dance for lifelong fitness. Her ultimate goal is to break down the walls of competitive dancing and bring performance opportunities to help children and adults feel empowered to be who they are and love what they do throughout their life!
