Facilitating Creative Experiences in Dance

& Movement

OUR STORY 

At TMI Design & Consulting, we believe creativity is power—and movement is a tool for both learning and leadership.

Founded in 2019 by Tamara Irving, an award-winning arts educator and former professional dancer, TMI supports dance teachers, schools, and arts leaders with innovative solutions for education, engagement, and growth. With over 25 years of experience in performance and arts education, Tamara brings deep expertise in curriculum design, educator training, and program development.

We specialize in:
- Supporting dance educators through curriculum, coaching, and professional learning
- Partnering with schools to bring working artists into classrooms through our Stage to the Classroom initiative
- Helping students become changemakers through the LEAP Lab, our student leadership incubator
- Offering high-quality resources and community through the Growing Dance Educator membership
- And now, launching MotionWorks—a movement-based leadership and wellness venture designed for both educators and professionals

Whether you're leading a classroom, a rehearsal, or a boardroom, we’re here to help you facilitate creative experiences that last.
