Meet the Harmony Team
Tammy Jimmo
Founder & Owner
With over 25 years of experience as a proud backstage dance mom to her three children — Brianna, Linda, and EJ — Tammy has been deeply involved in every step of their dance journeys, offering both behind-the-scenes support and personal encouragement. Today, she works alongside Miss Brianna and Miss Linda to lead Harmony Dance Center as a truly family-centered studio. Together, they are committed to making Harmony a second home for dancers of all ages.
Beyond the studio, Tammy has dedicated nearly a decade to Scouting America. She served as Cubmaster of Pack 3 in Waterbury, helping grow the pack from five to over 25 members, and later became Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 6 in Middlebury. In 2022, she was honored with the Influential Women’s Award for her dedication to youth and community leadership.
At Harmony, Tammy is passionate about creating an inclusive and supportive environment where every dancer feels seen, celebrated, and inspired to grow.
Brianna Cavallo-Perez
Artistic Director | Lead Teacher
Miss Brianna began dancing at the age of 3 at Sunshine Dance Center. During her time as a student, she enjoyed learning many forms of dance including ballet, tap, jazz, hip-hop, pointe, contemporary, and musical theatre.
Brianna began assistant teaching under the tutelage of Miss Sheila Tetreault and has Miss Sheila to thank for all of her knowledge
and love of dance.
Brianna has 26 years of dance experience and 5 years of teaching experience. Throughout the years, she trained in acting and singing at 7 Angels Theatre and performed in Bright Lights, a youth production founded in 1993. She later portrayed Cha Cha DiGregorio in Grease, earning the 2015 Halo Award for Best Featured Dancer in a Play, selected from over 90 participating students.
At Harmony, Miss Brianna is passionate about helping every dancer grow in confidence, technique, and a love of dance.
Linda Jimmo
Artistic Director | Lead Teacher
Miss Linda brings over 16 years of training in ballet, pointe, tap, jazz, and hip hop. She studied under Miss Sheila Tetreault at Sunshine Dance Center and further honed her craft through performance programs at 7 Angels Theatre under the direction of Semina De Laurentis. Her stage credits include Jessica Lynn’s Christmas Spectacular and Viva La Broadway with Palante Theatre, experiences that strengthened her stage presence and passion for performing.
As an Artistic Director and lead instructor at Harmony Dance Center, Miss Linda has a full year of experience leading classes and choreographing for dancers of all ages. She also choreographed this summer's Youth Summer Theatre productions at Seven Angels Theatre, helping young performers build confidence and stage presence. She was a member of the Wolcott High School Dance Team, where she competed in jazz, earning a first-place finish at the NVL competition, while also training in pom as part of the program.
Beyond the studio, Miss Linda is an Eagle Scout and serves as a Junior Assistant Scoutmaster in Middlebury. Her leadership and dedication to service reflect her commitment to guiding young dancers with confidence, strength, and creativity.
Julia Francisco
Teacher
Miss Julia has been dancing for nearly two decades, with ballet always holding a special place in her heart. After taking three years away from dance, she found her way back to the studio at Harmony, and quickly became an important part of it.
What began as her own return to dance grew into something new when Julia became an Assistant Teacher last year. She discovered that she loved being on the other side of the classroom, and this year she officially stepped into her role as a Teacher.
For Julia, dance has always been a place to be creative, make connections, and simply be herself. Now she gets to experience it in a whole new way by sharing something that has been part of her life for so long with the next generation of dancers.
Camryn Caporuscio
Acro Teacher
Miss Camryn is passionate about helping students build strength, flexibility, confidence, and a love of movement through acro. She creates a positive and encouraging environment where dancers of all ages can safely develop new skills while having fun.
Jaymee Hughes
Helper
Miss Jaymee is passionate about encouraging young dancers as they learn, grow, and gain confidence in the classroom. She enjoys supporting students of all ages and helping create a positive, welcoming atmosphere where every dancer feels comfortable being themselves and having fun.
Ludmila De Paula
Helper
Miss Lulu has been dancing for over 15 years and has trained in a variety of styles, with ballet holding a special place in her heart. She was first drawn to dance as a way to express emotion through creativity and the arts, and she continues to love the connections and friendships that dance creates.
Outside of the studio, Lulu is just as passionate about helping others. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Social Work and recently completed her Master’s in Social Work. Her caring nature and ability to connect with others are qualities that come naturally to her.
What Lulu loves most about dance is the way it brings people together and creates lasting connections. As a Helper at Harmony, she gets to stay connected to something she has loved for most of her life while supporting our dancers and teachers along the way.
Tyler Weston

Miss Tyler enjoys supporting our dancers and helping them feel comfortable and confident in the classroom. She brings a positive attitude to each class and is always ready to lend a helping hand as our dancers learn, grow, and have fun.

Mr. Nick enjoys working alongside our teachers and being involved in all the activity that comes with a busy dance class. He’s always ready to jump in wherever he’s needed and be part of the Harmony team.
