MS. TIFFANY MULLINS brings 40+ years of experience to the wonderful world of performing arts in Glen Rose and beyond. As a competitor, dance instructor, performer, choreographer, studio owner, artistic director, producer, and judge she is honored to have this opportunity to train up the next generation. Tiffany is an Arizona native; who was blessed to receive training under the instruction of several prestigious and professional instructors from New York to Los Angeles. She has held numerous national titles in her competitive years with the "JJP" dance company and as a soloist in the DEA Jr. Miss and Miss Broadway competitions. She traveled as a judge for the 'ShowBiz' dance competitions in the early 1990's.
Her television debuts include Dick Clark's "American Bandstand" Spotlight dance, and Ed McMahon's "Star Search" with dance group Good Vibrations, who were three-time dance champions in 1992. She was humbled to achieve one of her deepest childhood dreams to compete on the Star Search stage televised in Burbank, CA. She continued to pursue her aspirations as a professional dancer as she earned a lead role as dancer and performer in the "Shoji Tabuchi" show in Branson, Missouri. Throughout the years, her choreography has been seen in a variety of arenas. She was the original choreographer for "The 3 Redneck Tenors", a choreographer for four seasons of the "The Promise", a live musical production here in Glen Rose. She's choreographed several theater productions across Texas churches and the 'Plaza Theatre' which include 'White Christmas,' 'Kiss me Kate,' 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,' and 'Scrooge.' Most recently Ms. Tiffany has broadened her horizons as a producer by taking on Disney Jr. musicals, 'The Little Mermaid', 'High School Musical', and even writing her own script for 'Twist of Oz', (original adaption of The Wizard of Oz) which is scheduled to be released Summer of 2025.
Ms. Tiffany loves the variety the dance world and performing arts offer a lifelong choreographer, instructor, director, and producer. She lights up every season over the annual Father-Daughter routine and has enjoyed choreographing specialty routines for Quinceanera's and Weddings. However, it is her worship dance ministry, 'Rhythms of Grace ministries', which remains at the center of what locks her into this profession. It is the heartbeat and inspiration behind TGS. What began as a community wide worship team she created to perform at worship events and churches, has become more appealing to students of all ages that train up at TGS to become a special part of. Ms. Tiffany is in constant awe of how Abba God's plans were to bring her out of retirement and continue to stretch her as a creative artist for the kingdom of God. She is grateful for this gift and endless amount of support from her incredible best friend and loving husband, Eric, and her three amazingly talented and beautiful children: Austin, Madison, and Ashlyn.
