Varsity Ballroom Coach
Tiffanie Harding
Coach Tiffanie Harding started dancing at age 3. She started with tap and ballet, then enrolled in Bountiful School of Ballet for the next 14 years. In high school, she added Drill team (they took 2nd at the State Competition and 1st in Region) and Colorguard (Two-time Individual Colorguard Champion) to her schedule. Tiffanie fell in love with ballroom dancing as a Freshman at BYU. Working three jobs to earn money to stay in school, she took ballroom classes and enjoyed dancing on different teams at BYU. Her senior year, she was her team captain and decided to forego dancing on tour team due to finding the love of her life, Paul Harding. They have been married over 30 years.
This is Coach Harding’s 13th year at Pleasant Grove High School.
Before PGHS, Coach Harding volunteered, coached, and choreographed many routines for anyone who asked. She taught Elementary Ballroom for 16 years at Heritage Elementary, 3 years at Traverse Mountain Elementary, 10 years at Burton Elementary, co-founded Davis County Ballroom (now Premier Ballroom Academy), and was the owner of Ballroom Rocks. Additionally, she choreographed for the Moonlight Serenade at Davis High School for over 10 years. Working with youth of all ages is her passion and she is grateful every day to work with her team members, striving to help them learn the skills necessary to be successful in life, now and in the future.
