"When I meditated on the word guidance, I kept seeing “dance” at the end of the word. I remember reading that doing God’s will is a lot like dancing. When two people try to lead, nothing feels right. The movement doesn’t flow with the music and everything is quite uncomfortable and jerky.
When one person relaxes and lets the other lead, both bodies begin to flow with the music. One gives gentle cues, perhaps with a nudge to the back or by pressing lightly in one direction or another. It’s as if two become one body, moving beautifully. The dance takes surrender, willingness and attentiveness from one person and gentle guidance and skill from the other.
My eyes drew back to the word guidance. When I saw “G” I thought of God, followed by “u” and “i”. God, you and I dance. This statement is what guidance means to me.
As I lowered my head, I became willing to trust that I would get guidance about my life. Once again, I became willing to let God lead."
Tiffany Stahl was raised in Newburg, PA and began to study dance at the age of two. Her mother enrolled her in classes at MAR-LE-NIE Dance Studio in Chambersburg, PA where she accelerated to the top of her class. Tiffany began her teaching career at the age of 14. When she was able to drive she began teaching at other area schools. She says “One of the best things about growing up in such a unique studio was being able to travel to New York for dance workshops. I was able to study with famous dancers and choreographers such as Gregory Hines, Savion Glover, Brenda Buffalino and Greg Russell.”
Tiffany currently resides in Nashville and is an Independent Dance Instructor. She is contracted by the Wildhorse Saloon to teach line dancing along with teaching at numerous studios in and surrounding Nashville. In addition to the traditional ballet, tap and jazz, Tiffany is also certified to teach lyrical, hip hop, country, ballroom, west coast swing and salsa/mambo.
“Dancing is such an important part of a healthy lifestyle. It provides your body with exercise and challenges your brain. The combination of the two keeps a person young and fit.” Tiffany also believes without dance as a creative outlet she would not have achieved the many goals which she had set for herself. Dance has given her the confidence to survive in such a competitive world.
