Check Out Tiffany Varty’s Story

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tiffany Varty.

Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
I’ve been dancing since I was three years old. At eight, my family relocated to Arizona after losing our home in Hurricane Andrew in 1992. It was there that I truly found my home in dance—training at The Dance Source in Scottsdale, AZ, under world-renowned choreographer Brian Friedman. His mentorship shaped me into the dancer I am today, and I’ll always be grateful that my parents discovered his studio, which pushed my skills to the next level.

From the moment I first felt the bass shake the walls of my childhood dance studio, I knew music and dance would always be connected in my life. Dance was my first love—but music wasn’t far behind. After dancing professionally, I began working full-time at All About Dance in Scottsdale, taking on two company groups. I spent countless hours digging into new artists for competition routines and later found myself sitting for eight hours straight, crafting a brand-new track for one of my soloists. That’s when it hit me: music wasn’t just something I used, it was something I wanted to shape.

At first, I relied on “Dan the Music Man” for my edits, but his schedule didn’t always match my choreographing needs. Around that time, I was also at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, sharpening my editing and production skills. It was the perfect moment to merge my two worlds—I started editing my own music so I could choreograph on my own timeline.What began as a necessity soon became a passion. My edits gave me complete creative freedom, and before long, I was the go-to editor for all of our instructors. That’s when I realized: I know what choreographers and studios really need, because I’ve been in their shoes. And that’s how DancerSound was born—a place where dancers, teachers, and studios can trust that their music will be as polished, powerful, and performance-ready as the choreography itself.

DancerSound is a home base where choreographers, studio owners, dancers, and lovers of music can relieve themselves of the busywork required prior to the creation of their piece. What do I offer my clients? 1:1 service, idea generation, and professional music editing. I also do weddings and bar/bat mitzvah’s!

Direction, concept, and manifestation are my realm in the (music) studio. I always seems to discover exactly the right solution to help clients make sense of where to take a project, and with this specialty, help to manifest client goals by utilizing mastery of tools and resources to make the impossible possible with a love for detailed edits. I love a good challenge.

I live in Scottsdale, Arizona now, after spending four years in Washington D.C. and New York. I’m always ready for the next adventure. Nothing makes me happier than sitting down over coffee, tea, or any kind of sweets—especially if my dog, Brooklyn, can join us.
I’m a proud Sun Devil with a degree in Broadcast Journalism from Arizona State University, and I later earned my MBA from The George Washington University, where I specialized in Investments, Portfolio Management, and Strategic Management.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
I’ll answer this in 3 parts.

1. One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced as a business owner is inflation. Rising costs make it harder to keep prices fair while still covering expenses, and it creates constant pressure to adjust in ways that can confuse customers and strain growth. For startups especially, inflation eats into already thin margins and makes scaling even more difficult. I am constantly having to rework my pricing due to rising costs.

2. Another struggle is sometimes my clients neglect to remit payment. Since my business is fully online, I work with studios all over the world, which can sometimes make trust and accountability tricky.

I’ll never forget one situation where a parent reached out through my website asking me to edit a song for her daughter’s choreographer and dance competition. After I delivered the work, payment never came through. I ended up tracking the daughter down on Instagram using the mother’s last name, which led me to the dance studio. From there, I contacted the choreographer directly and explained that the music edit couldn’t be used at competition until I was paid. The mother sent payment that very same day.

3. Because this is such a seasonal business, I also experience natural breaks where I’m not working as much. But since dance music editing is more of a passion project and side business for me, I don’t mind the ebb and flow. At the end of the day, it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
My work when I am not working seasonally with DancerSound, focuses in the Bitcoin space. I am now in finance working to educate others in Bitcoin and its importance, hence the MBA!

Our money is broken. Our generation, and those that follow, have inherited a mountain of debt, a global financial crisis, broken institutions, and a world stripped of trust. That’s why understanding the history of money matters: it shapes how each of us is affected every single day.

I am co-founder of Bitcoin Social Club (BTC SoCo) here in Scottsdale, Arizona alongside my twin sister Natalie Varty, and friend Harry Beckwith. Bitcoin isn’t just a digital asset, it’s a movement, an ethos and a reason to bring great people together. Those who want and choose to see a brighter, bolder decentralized, permissionless, borderless world. Those who believe in our freedom here in the USA. Having the power being in our hands. We the People. A system not run by a handful of officials but shaped by each of us who choose to participate.

The one thing that’s given us hope in this broken world is Bitcoin. Not because it belongs to one team or the other, but because we truly believe it’s something we can all eventually get behind. What unites us are deeper truths, freedom, connection, love, faith and hope.

We (Natalie and Harry and myself) believe a deeper source of all our division is really the corruption of our money. When money is monopolized for the benefit of a few, everything else erodes in society, our morals, our responsibility, our long-term thinking and vision, even our sense of purpose.

Bitcoin Social Club is more than a meetup, it’s a network of trusted peers, a place to explore ideas, and a community that thrives on trust, knowledge, and shared curiosity. We operate on a simple but powerful principle: great conversations happen when great people come together. That’s why we keep it invite-only, ensuring a space that remains authentic, insightful, and welcoming.

We are three founders who share a deep belief in Bitcoin’s ability to reshape the world—not just financially, but socially. With diverse backgrounds in tech, investing, the arts, and community building, we created Bitcoin Social Club as a space where meaningful discussions and real connections thrive.

But let’s be real, we’re also here to have fun! Bitcoin deserves better than endless online debates and stale networking events. We set out to create something fresh, a space where ideas spark, conversations flow, and people genuinely enjoy themselves. Bitcoin isn’t just a digital asset to us; it’s a movement, an ethos, and a reason to bring great people together in a way that feels engaging, dynamic, and, most importantly, fun!

Excited to be a part of the wave here in a new monetary world, where freedom is in your own hands.

Can you tell us more about what you were like growing up?
Growing up, I was pretty shy—unless I was on stage performing. I was hard on myself, a rule follower, and very detail-oriented. My dance instructor drilled that into us too; every muscle, down to the fingertips, had a precise placement in the choreography. As a company member, I practiced endlessly, and if it wasn’t perfect by the next day, he’d pull us (any member) from the routine. Even when he told us to ‘mark’ it, I’d go full out every single time. High school cheer helped me come out of my shell—I became co-captain of the Cheer Team and class president one year, which helped me be less afraid to put myself out there. Still, I was very Type A: straight A’s, in every club possible, always busy, and always with my friends. I was also very focused from a young age. So when I figured out what I really wanted to do I put my mind and heart and just went for it. Not having a job or starting my own thing was never not an option in my mind. I worked three different types of job in college. My parents taught me the importance of having your own thing and being able to take care of yourself, because you never know what life will bring.

That drive carried into choreography—I started creating routines earlier on for my cheer team and even helped choreograph a holiday event at Phoenix First Assembly (now Dream City Church). Which eventually led me to All About Dance where I spent 15+ years creating and teaching. I loved being involved in the community, sharing the art I practiced every day, and creating something meaningful and interesting for others to experience and contemplate. Every day was a challenge, which is important because it fuels growth. A challenge keeps your career from being just a job—it makes it a journey of continuous growth, purpose, and self-discovery. And in the long run, a career that challenges you keeps you adaptable. The world changes quickly, and if your work pushes you to evolve, you’ll always be ready for what’s next.

In a softer sense, I think dance has always been home. It’s the thread that’s run through my entire life, it’s not just movement—it’s expression, identity, and resilience. It gives dancers a voice when words aren’t enough. It’s community—it’s energy, discipline, perseverance, mindfulness, growth, artistry, and storytelling all rolled into one. But at its core, dance is a language: the way we can translate passion, joy, heartbreak, and persistence into something that connects with others a well as ourself.

Because music is so deeply tied to dance, it has never been just about the steps—it’s about the way sound and movement weave together into a complete experience. That’s why music editing became more than just a skill for me—it was a natural extension of the way I’ve always lived through rhythm and choreography.
