Tamia M. Whittaker

Tamia Whittaker was born on January 3, 1999 in Jackson, Mississippi, US. She completed her schooling from Ridgeland High School, where she was an honor student. Since a very young age, Tamia was passionate about dancing. She started receiving her dance lessons from a very young age. Though initially Hip-hop was her forte, she is now trying to master different styles of dance.

Tamia is currently learning Salsa and is planning to take up classes on Jazz as well. She considers herself an outspoken girl. She describes her experience of being a part of the show ‘Bring It!’ as life changing. She will soon be seen in the next season of the show. However, it is still not revealed as to which dance team she will be a member of. Tamia is just out of school and is preparing for her Bachelor’s degree. She is also serious about her dance career and will soon be seen in her next reality show.

Since Tamia is an amazing dancer, she rightfully got an opportunity to showcase her dancing skills in the lifetime dance reality show ‘Bring It!’, which is based on hip-hop face-offs. It did not take long for her to impress the judges and the audience with her accurate and rhythmic dance moves. After a few episodes, Tamia was promoted and was made the co-captain of the team, along with Camryn Harris. Tamia was the co-captain of the team for the 2015-2016 seasons.

Tamia was a member of the team ‘Dancing Dolls’ since she was 10. She was trained by the mentors of the team, and as soon as she attained the eligible age to participate, she was given an opportunity to be a part of the team. ‘Dancing Dolls’ consists of a sub team called ‘Baby Dancing Dolls’. The sub team includes young dancers who are under the age of 15. Tamia too started off by being a part of this sub team and eventually went on to be a part of the main group.

Tamia was in news after her reported disagreement with the owner of the team. It was said that Tamia was caught up in a cold war with the captain, owner and some of the fellow team members. The tension among the dancers was very much evident during the last few episodes of the show. Later, it was said that the rift was caused by a verbal altercation between members of ‘Dancing Dolls’ and the members of their rival dance team. However, Tamia’s mother came up with a different reason, saying that her daughter had some issues with the producers of the show. Her mother confirmed that Tamia would be leaving the team because of the fact that she had not been paid a dime by the producers. Tamia finally left the team and joined another team called ‘Purple Diamonds’.
