LOS ANGELES – Following two rounds of tryouts, Lancaster native Tiffany Johnson was selected Tuesday night as a new member of the 2018-19 Clippers Spirit, the dance team of the NBA’s L.A. Clippers.

The Clippers Spirit is an elite dance team made up of world-class professional dancers.

Johnson previously danced for the University of Hawai’i, and was crowned winner of the Miss Latina Hawaii Scholarship Pageant in 2016.

Johnson also was crowned Miss Lancaster in 2012 and won Miss High Desert in 2014.

At age 17, Johnson founded and incorporated a Lancaster-based nonprofit organization called Together in Faith and Family (TIFF), which distributes hundreds of toys and bicycles to underprivileged children during the holiday season. TIFF raises thousands of dollars for an annual holiday Santa visit in conjunction with Caring for the Community at the University of Antelope Valley (UAV).

Johnson is the daughter of UAV founders Sandra and Marco Johnson.

  1. I wouldn’t care if my parents founded Harvard…going to a school founded by your parents would be so far beyond a nightmare I doubt that anyone would want to do it.

      • No kidding? Maybe you should try following the conversation instead of working so hard to be snotty Alexis. The discussion is about WHY she didn’t. Absolutely no one was saying that she did.

  2. Easy there tiger. I know city people take alot of heat on here. From what I’ve read, some seems deserved. But as far as Mr.Johnson goes, he coached me when I played football at AV as a kid. He had retired from the NFL and being a fireman in Hollywood, so he was obviously pretty well off, but he was out there working with kids everyday when he didn’t have to be. Getting to know him, I don’t know if I’ve met a nicer, more honest and genuine person in my life. You probably haven’t even met him so you shouldn’t speak about him that way. Thank you Mr.Johnson for helping to shape me into the man I am today.
