Tatiana Mollmann was born in 1983 in Santa Monica, CA, to a Russian/Italian Mother and German Father. At age 3, Tatiana’s mother enrolled her in ballet class. The classical approach did not suit her personality, and Tat’s ballet career lasted only 10 days. At the suggestion of a dancer teacher, Tatiana switched to Gymnastics which proved a better fit for her boundless energy. She discovered West Coast Swing at age 11, and the unique and versatile dance form became the focal point of her life. She started competing with her very first dance partner, Parker Dearborn, in 1996, and continued that partnership the following year. Her next partner from 1998 to 1999 was Shiloh Warren. Then, in 2000 she began a partnership with Jordan Frisbee, and her dance career was changed forever. Tatiana studied at California State University Long Beach for 2 years, all the while dancing and traveling extensively. She enjoyed college but loved dancing. Combining the two lifestyles became too difficult, so she put college aside to pursue life as a full-time artist. Tatiana possesses the uncanny ability to land on her feet and choreograph on the fly. Whether executing her famous one-legged spins, or expressing complicated musical patterns with her body, her dancing can be described in one word… “Fearless!”. West Coast Swing, afforded Tatiana the opportunity to be creative in many areas. Choreographing award-winning routines with Jordan, designing their costumes from 2000-2013 and learning new languages while on tour, are just a few of the many talents that developed along the way. She also loves painting, singing, enjoying life at the moment without regrets and bring out her Comedy side to make everyone laugh. She was so honored to be able to meet one of her comedic idols Betty White while acting in the movie “Love N’ Dancing” acting alongside Amy Smart and Tom Molloy. She also appeared in other films including “3 Ninja Kids” as a stunt double and “Polar Express”. Tatiana always dreamed of making an impact on people in a positive way and West Coast Swing gave her that opportunity, as so did Jordan. The life that they have experienced in this journey is a life that can’t even be explained.
