She had also trained and competed with Studio Bleu Dance Center and Strictly Rhythm Dance Center, both located in Virginia. Her favorite style of dancing was ballet or lyrical at that time. | ||

===About Tillie=== | |||
*''"The choreography is busy with the finale a thrilling ride, but what really sticks in the memory is the quieter, completely absorbing duet by Tristan Brosnan and Tillie Glatz, in which he demonstrates superb soft but strong partnering."'' (David Mead on February 11, 2021 about ABT Studio Company’s Winter Festival).<ref>[https://www.seeingdance.com/abt-studio-company-winter-festival-11022021/ Young dancers thrill in the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company Winter Festival]</ref> | |||

*''"This month although shared with many important matters, is National Scoliosis Awareness Month. Being a ballet dancer, I have always hid my scoliosis but thinking about how much I would have appreciated seeing a post like this when I was 13 and newly diagnosed made me change my mind. Through the years, I have learned that dancing with scoliosis is not a curse but a challenge. It has given me the opportunity to learn and feel things about my back and body that I otherwise would have never known. So to anyone discovering how to dance with curves, it’s worth the hip pain and back aches, it’s worth dealing with a brace and it’s worth going through treatments because you will find your way to not only embrace your scoliosis, but to embrace being unique."'' - (Tillies' IG about her scoliosis on June 26, 2020). | |||
