Tanya went on to train under a number of acclaimed Mambo and Salsa instructors, including Frankie Martinez, Johnny Matos, Gordon Neil, Leon Rose and Julissa Cruz. In April of 2011 Tanya was exposed to Kizomba and Semba for the first time and immediately fell in love with the music and the dances. Motivated to learn as much as she could, Tanya went on to train in the United States with Ivo Vieria, and Oscar B.A. She then decided to take her training to the next level and has spent several months abroad training with Master Petchu and Vanessa Pura Ginga, along side with Ricardo Sousa and Paula Lt. of AfroLatin Connection in Portugal.
