My specialty is teaching tap as a musical instrument. For me, the movement serves the sound rather than a visual effect. No matter if you're a beginning, intermediate or advanced student, you will discover the potential of the human body to help internalize musical concepts such as phrasing, form, improvisation, and self-expression, as well as gain organic access to complex musical structures. Whether your focus is on building tap dance skills, seeking to connect body and mind in a profound and musical way, or are a musician who wants to become more connected and physically involved with the groove within - you are in the right place with me. The tap steps are merely tools to access your unique voice. My tap lessons combine technique, improvisation, and combinations with mindfulness, breathing, and body awareness exercises. Find the groove that is within you!

I have tap danced for more than 20 years. Creating rhythms with your feet is an awesome feeling.

I have been learning Tap, Ballet, Jazz, Contemporary, and Clogging dance styles since I was 5 years old, and have 2 years of studio teaching experience with Ballet and Jazz. Tap is really my specialty-- I am able to teach beginner to advanced students and absolutely love the style. Tap has always been my favorite, and it's quickly dying. With tap, you will really begin to understand rhythms and complicated foot patterns, as well as terminology and technique.
