Tovah , 21, was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. At an early age of four, she was already fond of browsing through the pages of Vogue Magazine. By that time, she was also active and energetic in putting on make-believe shows, much to her babysitter's delight. When Tovah turned six, she began training on her dancing skills at the Chicago Multi-Cultural Dance Center. Afterwards, she joined and trained in other groups including the San Francisco Ballet, Exploring Ballet with Suzanne Farrell and the Dance Theatre of Harlem. Shortly after her graduation from the Chicago Waldorf School, she performed ballet and aerial work at the Universoul Circus.
Currently, Tovah is part of the Elesta Dance Company based in Chicago. She is focusing in a specialty which she brands as a “hipllet,” a dance combination of hip-hop and ballet.
Tovah can be seen on Bravos' reality series
Step It Up and Dance , where twelve dancers compete against each other in a series of tests including auditions for music videos and Las Vegas stage shows. At the end of the show, the winner will receive a $100,000 grand prize.
