Dawn Tarbox-Szerbiak

I began my dance journey at KipTom Dance Center in 1976, where I discovered my passion for movement and the performing arts. Under the guidance of Kip and Tom Ralabate, I not only deepened my love for dance but also found my calling as a teacher. I continued my studies at SUNY Buffalo, expanding my education while performing throughout the Western New York area.

As an instructor, my goal is to ensure that every student has the opportunity to learn, grow, and discover their own creative voice. At KipTom Dance Center, we strive not only to develop technically skilled dancers but also to nurture caring, respectful, and thoughtful individuals in an environment that is fun, safe, and inviting. 

Guided by KipTom’s mission—Dance · Connect · Belong—she is proud to carry on the studio’s traditions for future generations.
