Alumni Spotlight of the Week Tiffany Frances Hubbard: Before ‘Tiffany Francès’ name ever appeared in a Broadway playbill, the little girl from the city’s west side had one goal in life– to attend the Detroit School of Arts. As a longtime performing arts student, she was inspired to follow in the footsteps of many of her older peers from the Detroit Windsor Dance Academy as well as the late singer & Detroit legend Aaliyah. Tiffany was so determined to follow the same path that she didn’t even bother to apply to any of the other DPSCD schools because DSA was the only place she wanted to be!
