Our History
In 2009 Tamiko Maldonado founded TamiCo. Dancing Inc. in the Bronx, NY as a means for building life-learning skills. TamiCo. Dancing prides itself on the fact that demographically, there is no other dance school offering similar quality.
The initiative behind TamiCo. Dancing is teaching young artists to genuinely respect and love the art of dance. This rewards personal fulfillment, but more importantly positivity and a lasting effect on each student’s life. Enabling students to live this type of thought process through dance encourages limitless expression. TamiCo. Dancing. Teaching expression through dance.
”“Dancing is more than moving body parts; it is a pathway of expressing your deepest inner thought.”

We are the Hip Hop duo Danielle & Michelle Reeves born and raised in NYC. We started teaching at the ages of 12 and 14 years old. We knew teaching would always be our passion.
Apart from Hip Hop & Urban street dance, we have studied musical theatre and contemporary dance from The Repertory Company of Theatre Arts. Since then, we have taught at various school programs around New York City. We will continue to teach anyone willing to learn!
