Tiffany Mangulabnan (she/her) is a Filipino dancer, choreographer, teacher, and founding co-director of konverjdans. Born and raised in Manila, Philippines, she was a principal dancer with the Philippine Ballet Theatre until 2012, when she moved to NYC to dance as a soloist with BalletNext for four years under the artistic direction of former ABT and NYCB principals Michele Wiles and Charles Askegard. Since 2016 she has enjoyed a rich freelance career in NYC, performing with companies like Emery LeCrone DANCE, Claudia Schreier & Co., Gleich Dances, Trainor Dance, Terra Firma Dance, Indelible Dance, and several others. She currently dances at The Metropolitan Opera, with Gabrielle Lamb’s Pigeonwing Dance, and with her own company, konverjdans, for which she has also choreographed a new work every season since 2017. As a performer, Tiffany has earned praise for delivering “the most intense moment [of a piece] . . in a thrashing solo” (The New York Times), and for showing “improvement and more depth of character with each performance” (Broadway World). Her choreography, meanwhile, has been described as “utterly captivating” (CVNC), “strange, touching, unique and quite beautiful” (Critical Dance) and “beautifully captur[ing] the struggles and tantalization of eternal beauty that women often face” (The Dance Enthusiast). Her choreography has been performed by Carolina Ballet, Woman in Motion Dance Co., Columbia Ballet Collaborative, Columbia Repertory Ballet, Barnard Dance/Columbia University, and Moravian University, and has been presented at New York Live Arts, Mark Morris Dance Center, Triskelion Arts, The Mark O’Donnell Theater, The Kumble Theater, North Carolina Museum of Art, and at festivals such as Battery Dance Festival, Periapsis Open Series, CounterPointe, Carolina Ballet’s ‘Choreographer Spotlight Series’, the Women in Dance Leadership Conference in NYC, and Riverside Dance Festival in Vero Beach, Florida.
