A Versatile Performer with Global Reach

Her skill set encompasses roller-skate dance (as a member of the Miss'ile Team), aerial dance and lyra performance (with Fifth Wall Studio, House of Spirits, and House of X), fire dance performance (with Liquid Light Flight), and even stilt dance. Her training in aerial lyra and flying trapeze further demonstrates her commitment to pushing boundaries and exploring new forms of artistic expression. Her work has been featured in prominent publications like The Broadway World, Estonian National Broadcasting, and The Estonian World.

A Choreographer's Vision

Her choreography credits include numerous shows in New York City ("Dusk Till Dawn," RAW Artist Showcase, "Rush Through," "Reflection Spectrum," and "Kahn Islander" at New York Fashion Week), as well as an immersive performance, "Tonality of Culture," at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. She served as head choreographer and assistant director for the Telluride Aids Benefit Gala, a testament to her leadership and creative vision. Tamm has also contributed her choreography to music videos by international artists such as Icona Pop and Misterwives and has performed on various TV shows, including MTV's "TRL" and "Good Morning America."

Her experience includes being a principal dancer and choreographer for The Dance Factory, one of Scandinavia's largest dance show agencies. She's performed in numerous theatrical productions and showcases internationally, working with acclaimed choreographers like Nappytabs, Sam Allen, Amy Gardner, and many others.
