Today we’d like to introduce you to Tatiana Tamai.
So, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
Ciao, I’m Tatiana, I’m Italian, I’m the creator of the Booiaka Fitness-Dance Program and founder of the 12DAY-Online-Program #BOOkiniChallenge.
Before to come to America, I toured for the USO, performing for the American soldiers and I fall in love with the American culture.
So, I packed my suitcase and left Italy as soon as the opportunity arrived! I was invited to be assistant choreographer but things didn’t work out right away! It took me a few years before to make my dream come true, but in the end it all worked out!
I’ve being blessed for over a decade touring all over the world training instructors to learn my dance Program, and now I’ve extended my coaching expertise to a whole new level offering additional training sessions (live and online) such as HiiT workouts, flexibility & balance, and boxing fitness to help others to find that kickstart motivation and energy to live a joyful, healthy and productive lifestyle.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
Not a smooth road but surely worthy! I came in USA with a couple of hundred dollars, and ended up living the American dream!
Nothing came easy, I rolled up my sleeves and got the work done!
I created Booiaka and It became an international phenomenon that allowed me to travel the world doing what I love for over a decade! I had a blast! I’ve learned that nothing is given, but when you believe in yourself, everything is possible! My journey has inspired many others to follow my path and pursuit their dream and this is absolutely a gift I don’t give for granted!
We’d love to hear more about your work and what you are currently focused on. What else should we know?
My mission is to make people fall in love with themselves and the way they move with the right mindset! I motivate people to dance and train. I’m currently teaching online sessions live on zoom and I recently launched the 12 DAYS BOOkiniChallenge, a total body program that includes healthy meal plan, training sessions, and flexibility that anyone can take at anytime and anywhere.
What were you like growing up?
Always a happy kid! I enjoy life to the fullest and this is also what I teach others to do!
I’ve always being a dancer and entertainer, and I am very stubborn when I want to reach a goal and I like to see other people succeeding as well.
