Tiffany Mangulabnan is a New York-based Filipino dancer, choreographer, teacher, and a founding co-artistic director of the Brooklyn-based contemporary ballet company konverjdans. She was a principal dancer with the Philippine Ballet Theatre until 2012 and then a soloist with BalletNext under the artistic direction of former ABT and NYCB principals dancers Michele Wiles and Charles Askegard until 2016. She has since enjoyed a rich freelance career in NYC, performing with companies like Emery LeCrone DANCE, Claudia Schreier & Co., Gleich Dances, Trainor Dance, Terra Firma Dance, and many others. She currently dances with The Metropolitan Opera as well as with Pigeonwing Dance, Indelible Dance, and her own company, konverjdans, which she co-founded in 2016. As a performer, Tiffany has earned praise for delivering “the most intense moment [of a piece] . . in a thrashing solo” (The New York Times), for having “the most magnetism and spirit [among a group of performers],” and showing “improvement and more depth of character with each performance” (Broadway World).

Apart from choreographing a new work for konverjdans every season since 2016, she has choreographed for companies such as Carolina Ballet, Woman in Motion Dance Co, Barnard/Columbia Dances, and Moravian University Dance Company, among others. Her work has been presented at New York Live Arts, The Kumble Theater, Mark Morris Dance Center, The Mark O’Donnell Theater, North Carolina Museum of Art, Vero Beach Museum of Art, and at festivals such as Battery Dance Festival, CounterPointe, the Women in Dance Leadership Conference in NYC, Periapsis Open Series, Carolina Ballet’s Choreographer Spotlight Series, and Ballet Vero Beach’s Riverside Dance Festival. Her choreography has been described as “utterly captivating” (CVNC), “strange, touching, unique and quite beautiful” (Critical Dance) and “beautifully captur[ing] the struggles and tantalization of eternal beauty that women often face” (The Dance Enthusiast). Recently, she assisted choreographer Caili Quan in rehearsing her premiere work for New York City Ballet’s Fall 2024 Gala.
