Tiffanie Carson (she/her) is an educator, mentor and performance artist. She earned her Master of Fine Arts in Dance from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts in Dance Performance at Chapman University. Carson currently resides in Brooklyn, New York, and travels weekly to teach at Shenandoah University in Virginia as well as Sacred Heart University in Connecticut offering technique classes and choreography focusing in contemporary and commercial styles. In addition to her work in academia, Carson is in her eleventh season as company dancer and assistant director for Christopher K. Morgan & Artists (CKM&A) directed by Christopher K. Morgan, and is a longtime company member of fourteen years  for BARE Dance Company directed by Mike Esperanza in New York City. Carson has presented works at the 2016 and 2018 New York Jazz Choreography Dance Project at the Salvatore Capezio Theater in New York, the 2016 VelocityDC Dance Festival at Sidney Harman Hall in Washington, D.C., the 2017 34th and 2020 37th Annual Choreographers’ Showcase at the Dance Theatre in the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in College Park, Maryland, the 2017 Pushing Progress Series at the Salvatore Capezio Theater in New York as well as the 2020 American College Dance Association Gala Concert at the Kay Theatre Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center in College Park, Maryland.

With CKM&A, Carson has performed at the Millennium Stage at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, Sidney Harman Hall, as well as The Alden Theatre in McLean, Virginia. She has also traveled across the United States on a nine-city tour as rehearsal director and member of the creative team for Pōhaku. From her performance of Christopher Morgan’s solo work Selling Out, Carson has been described as a “very talented dancer” by IsItModern? and Carmel Morgan of CriticalDance wrote, "[she was] absolutely ripping the solo to shreds." Carson's choreography has also garnered praise from Ms. Carmel Morgan, who described Tiffanie as having achieved "a choreographic home run” for her 2014 work Deprivation. Ms. Morgan also stated of Carson's 2018 work, “B.U.G. [Backlight. Uplight. Glare.] is another certified hit for Carson, and it would be a smart move for companies to commission her choreography.” Carson has conducted CKM&A's annual winter and summer intensives as well as numerous residencies at universities and colleges, with Mr. Morgan.

Always on the move, Carson feels extremely privileged to be welcomed as a guest artist at colleges, universities and private studios across the United States and internationally sharing her knowledge and experiences hoping to inspire the next generation of artists.
