You get to stomp your feet and make noise on purpose! Plus we build up your sense of rhythm–no more claims that you can’t find the beat!

The first time I met the extraordinary tap dancer Gregory Hines we talked about tattoos, piercings, and different tap shoe designs.

What would you tell a student who is on the fence about signing up?
This is a fun no pressure class. We learn a lot but we work at the pace of the class.
How long have you been teaching dance?
I started teaching dance in high school at my home studio and choreographing for my high school’s show choir a long time ago. I started choreographing in college for dance teams 20 years ago and more formally in the Washington, DC Metropolitan area 15 years ago.
What is a fun fact about you?
I LOVE Roller Coasters. My hope is to ride every roller coaster in North America!!
