For Tanya Memme, who originates from Canada, there was never any doubt she was destined for a career in front of the camera. Tap, jazz and ballet dancing were all accomplishments by the age of seven!

At age fifteen Tanya left rural Wainfleet, Ontario, Canada, a strong Italian Catholic background and a childhood where she grew up on a 200-acre sod farm to further her career. Under the expert tuition of her mentor Shirley Yeszman, Tanya had already demonstrated a strong passion for dance and set her sights on training hard and becoming a performer.
