Tammy, also known as Portia, was a feature entertainer internationally and locally for 9 years and has now been pole dancing for over 11. She has worked in Japan, England, Greece, USA, and Canada. She has won over 20 dance competitions including Miss Nude BC, Miss Nude Edmonton, Miss Nude Calgary, Miss Nude Entertainer of the Year, World Exotic Dance Champion, Miss Nude Crazyhorse, first runner up Miss Nude Canada and, most recently, Best Pole Tricks, Miss Pole Dance World. You may have seen her acrobatics and contortion at showrooms throughout Vancouver. Tammy is also an actress and has appeared in many movies, television shows and commercials. Some of her credits include Jake 2.0, Jason vs Freddie, Godiva's, The Love Trials of Jillian Guess, Beggars and Choosers and she can be seen in the upcoming movie, Good Luck Chuck. She has choreographed actresses to play exotic dancers for Special Unit 2 (TV series), After School Special (feature film), Masters of Horror (TV series) and Intelligence (TV series). Tammy has also been a guest on the Howard Stern show and appeared in the February 2004 issue of Playboy. Along with these credentials she is also a certified Group Fitness Instructor, has worked in health clubs, has an extensive knowledge of fitness and nutrition, and has taught private dance lessons for a number of years. Tammy also teaches Pole Dancing at the University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, Fitness World, the Bental Center and has performed at large venues such as the Vancouver Aquarium. With this combination of talents, it seems only fitting that Tammy has opened her own private pole dancing studio. Tammy invites you to come down and find the goddess in you!

I finally decided to retire after 10 years of dancing. I had a few good years left in me physically but mentally I was done. My body was used to a lot of exercise. After quitting I found it very difficult to keep my figure. I dieted and tried different various forms of exercise. Aerobic classes, weight training, even running didn’t seem to be that effective. Not only was it not working to keep me fit but these were not exercises that I enjoyed. I finally came to the conclusion that I needed to try a training routine similar to the one that I had while I was dancing. I have structured a fitness routine using the moves that resemble the ones I had used in my performances. I had been using this routine for only a short while and could already see my body transforming back to the toned and lean condition that it was in while I was a dancer. It seems the perfect combination of using your own strength to hold your body weight up (pole moves), cardio (dancing), and strength and stretching (floor moves) is what keeps my body in the best shape. If this works for me, I figure it will work for most. This is why I decided to teach and help other women achieve their fitness goals.

"Tantra Fitness is great, not only do I have fun I work up a great sweat. Since starting with Tantra I have lost 15 pounds and have noticed substantial muscle development and toning all over my body, and I owe it all to Tammy, who is such a great teacher that really loves what she does and it really shows. If you really want to learn how the professionals do what they do Tantra fitness is the place to be."

"Tantra Fitness - Pole Class. Tammy Morris is an excellent teacher. She has taught myself and my sister step by step, easy to comprehend, how to complete pole moves keeping our training safe and fun. She is very attentive to your progress and has enormous dedication to your level of learning, because everyone learns at different speeds. She's a funny girl with a lot of passion about her school. Once a week was my time to hang out with my sister and the girls in the class, I looked forward to it every week, and will progress to another level shortly. My upper body strength and grip have improved. All in all, this class has made me a little more confident as a woman...I love it.

Tantra Fitness - Cardio Striptease. Excellent to get a heart rate to another level, in many ways. This class has confirmed that I will develope abs if I continue on a regular basis. I really enjoy the sisterhood that are developing in the classes. No need to be shy, we're all doing it together. Tammy Morris is an excellent teacher who breaks down the moves for you if you don't get it. She's very patient and funny."

"Tantra Fitness gives you an excellent workout that adapts to your own individual level allowing you to learn at your own pace. When I first started pole dancing I felt nervous but that quickly disappeared as everyone was super welcoming and encouraging. All the girls in the class bond, forming a supportive environment where you are able to let lose, just be yourself, and find the "sexy you." It has definately changed the way I view myself. Coming from a gymnastics background, I picked up the basic moves quickly. Tammy has done a great job challenging me and giving me more to practice. She has an extensive background in pole dancing and fitness and is not afraid to teach her students everything she knows. I haven't found something I enjoy this much in a long time. Thanks for the amazing classes, I love them!"

"Since joining Tantra Fitness, I have never been in better shape! My arms are so toned and my core is much stronger. Joining your Pole and Cardio Striptease classes is great exercise and so much fun at the same time! I find it very challenging and a different way of exercising instead of going to the boring gym."

"My name is Angelina I am 35 years old, I was born in Spain. When I registered for cardio strip tease, I did it mostly for some type of exercise that would be fun. I learned how to be more conscious of my body and to do moves that I never though I could do. It has even helped my strained low back. I show the moves to everyone at work and we all have a great laugh. I would call it Sexy Cardio because we really don't do strip tease. Tammy our teacher is so genuine and experienced; she makes you feel special and takes care of you if you have difficulties with a move. I like the fact that all ages, all types of bodies and all personalities are in the same class. I go there to be more flexible, feel sexy and have fun."

"Tammy is a great teacher. No matter what your level of fitness or body type, she encourages you to try. If you try you'll get stronger... I was surprised (and pleased) to see such big results, in the strength and shape of my body. I am doing things in just a few weeks that I thought would take me months to achieve. I feel fit, strong, healthy, confident, feminine, and SEXY! It is the best thing that I have done for myself in a long time."
