IMMA and KayHaniTi brought Tati to fame, although she had herself never that breakthrough event in her career to get public eye to justify a wiki page like this for a minor, but now she is an adult and their are no legal obstacles to introduce the incredible young woman. She was on the first dance video of WilldaBeast and people started asking, who the baby girl on the video was, she is damn good too. KayHaniTi brought her to fame, because Kaycee got public eye two years before by Katy Perry's tweet and her fame and those many other prominent dancers draw attention to Tati as well and she was seen as part of the dance industry elite. Tati remembered from these days [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwhdvrfxZAQ how happy everyone was]. They had no clue where all these film shots will bring them one day and just had a blast by dancing, because they loved it. - 'It gets filmed?! Cool!'- They didn't even thinking about social media when people pointed out 'you guys are very good for your age' and they stayed all humble. She feels that the next generation is much more competitive, because they get filmed for social media since their entire career. But when she has started there was no social media and their cared just about fun, friends and socializing; all stayed easy and want to keep it like this.

When she was 9-10 she met first time Matt Steffanina and worked intensively together with him, at the beginning in classes, later on his concept videos and on conventions as ~~masterstudent~~ or his ~~assistent~~ abroad. Matt and Tati have a long history as well, but of course, the most prominent choreographer in the world has thousends of students. Nevertheless, Matt has taken her under his wing by booking her for jobs as his assistant and taking her around the world with him. Another choreographer who has a big imprint on Tati is [https://www.galenhooks.com/ Galen Hooks]. She loves her style and technique. Galen teaches beside hip-hop a lot of old school retro dancing too and knows the old school pro procedures like setup contracts, marketing, promos, networking, behaviour on set and during shooting, use of agencies and managers etc, and is offering workshops for it, from times when there was no social media. She also loves learning from or dancing with Tricia Miranda, Brian Friedman, Hamilton Evans, Nika Kljun, and JR Taylor.

Tati loves choreographing and teaching herself and started teaching abroad in 2016.

She likes travelling. Kenya impressed her most and the kids touched her heart, because they don't had phones, TVs, they didn't learned her dance because they saw her on YouTube, they don't even know the song she was playing, but just loved to dance, having a blast and that is what makes Tati happy. Tati got inspired by her mom who started singing with 15 in mexico.
