Tap Dancing/Expert Profile
Expertise
I specialize in Hip Hop Tap, Jazz Tap, Classic Tap, Swing Tap, and many other styles. I can help with technique, names of steps, combinations, or choreography ideas.
Experience in the area
I have 27 years of experience in tap dancing. I have been teaching tap for 19 years in studios, seminars, and judging auditions and competitions. I am a freelance choreographer for many studio owners and I have performed with many great tap dancers. Gregory Hines to name one.
Education/Credentials
I have been taught by many professional tap teachers from around the country. Pat Rico, Debbie Dee, and many others. I attend numerous conventions including DMA (Dance Masters)& Dance Caravan to name a few. I keep up with the latest styles by traveling to different states to attend master tap classes, conventions, & competitions.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:
National Tap Dance Day is May 25th. May 25th was chosen because it is Bill "Bojangles" Robinson's birthday.
