Tillie began dancing at the age of two. Her mom introduced her to dance, because Tillie got jealous of her brother Garrett who could do four different sports and the only thing her mom could find for her was dance. She received her early training under the direction of Elizabeth Gaus Satterlee, Carolyn Posset, and Troy D. Brown.
