Born in Reunion Island with parents

from Madagascar, Carole grew up

dancing to the beat of ballroom

rhythms and singing to the melodies

of French musicals.

Loyal to the Tropic of Capricorn,

Carole journeyed to Perth, Western

Australia in pursuit of education and

new horizons.

Ironically, it’s when she’s the furthest

away from home that she truly

discovered and deep-dived into her

native island music and dance, sega

and maloya.

Following a happy stint in the Maloya

band Salama, Carole now leads the

vibrant Tchega playing Creole folk

music with contemporary influences.

I’m Tiff, the owner of Fempower and an Instructor for our Heels, Pole, and Stretch & Flex classes.

I fell in love with dance as a very young girl, and while my first introduction to the stage probably wasn’t what my mother envisioned (I refused to go on after a whole year of Saturday morning classes), I now crave the limelight!

But don’t stress, I didn’t start Fempower to get my five seconds of fame, or force you to get yours; I started it because I was over the age of 30 and found myself kicking and leaping across studio floors with teenagers (who I respect and adore, but cannot keep up with) thinking, what am I doing here? My days of competition and comparison are behind me, and so on the streets of Bunbury CBD on a random Friday, the idea of Fempower Dance Co was born.

I designed a space for people who wanted to dance for fun, where we don’t have to mind our manners or worry about young ears listening to adult conversations, and where we can move sensually, sexually, without fear or concern of judgment. I am so proud of the inclusive and empowering space I have created, and look forward to welcoming you into it this year!
