About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

We did it. On 30th July in Los Angeles, Streets Ahead placed 3rd at the World Hip-Hop Championships!!! Congratulations Kaila, Jessie, Katherine, Emma, Gwen, Jamie, John & Cain!!!!Named Tara by the parental units, known as Taz to most. I run 'Streets Ahead Dance & Performing Arts' on the old Airport Road, North Co. Dublin. It's buckets of fun, I barely ever leave the studios. I teach hip-hop & cheerleading at the studios. I choreograph alot of routines for competitive teams, bands, exhibition teams etc.When I'm not teaching Dance (which in fairness is barely EVER!) I love to sing/songwrite(myspace/taztreacy)/break-dance/workout/play with the animals/go shopping(when I've money which right now is NEVER). I also just started a new business. It's called 'Dress Funky'. It's an online clothing store that sells urban/hip-hop/streetwear. The website is www.dressfunky.com. I decided to open this as is it very difficult to find my style of clothing in Ireland & I'm constantly being asked where I get my clothes. So, there you go people....dress funky...spread the word.I live in Swords with my two dogs, Phoebe & Cole and Elvis the parrot. I'm married to a great guy, Paul who at times probably feels like my slave more than my husband. He's my support system & my best friend. Don't know what I did to deserve him but I plan on hanging onto him.So, that's pretty much everything about me. Life can be depressing at times but all in all I'm very lucky to have what I have right now. If I had but one request in life it would be...................any chance of getting an 8th day in every week?.........pretty please?

My Interests

..
You Are Miss Piggy
A total princess and diva, you're totally in charge - even if people don't know it.
You want to be loved, adored, and worshiped. And you won't settle for anything less.
You're going to be a total star, and you won't let any of the "little people" get in your way.
Just remember, piggy, never eat more than you can lift! The Muppet Personality Test

Books:

I used to love reading but now adays I can only read a maximum of one page at night, before I fall asleep so it's taking me way too long to read a book. Plus, everynight I'm reading the same page over again cause I don't remember what I read the night before. Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Heroes:

Paul Murphy, My parents, the creators of the hip-hop dance movement (Don Campbell, Boogaloo Sam, Rock Steady Crew etc), Off the Hook (my senior dance team), my pets cause they always cheer me up when I feeling down. All the songwriters in the world because they write the songtracks to your life & Cheryl Bartolini (cause she's my 2nd mom,I admire her strength & courage and she's the kindest most loving person I know)
