Interested in dance lessons? Carolyn began working professionally at 8 years old and has since appeared on stage, in national commercials, recorded voiceovers, and booked principal roles in both film and television. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2011 from the Boston Conservatory, where she majored in musical theater with an emphasis in directing. With years of extensive dance training, she's had the opportunity to perform the original Broadway choreography in several major productions she has been a part of, her favorite being the tap spectacular "42nd Street." As an award winning choreographer, her pieces have been recognized nationally at dance competitions across the country.

I will teach you the basics of tap dance, so you get to learn the vocabulary to advance fast. We will work on shifting the weight, moving steps and swing

I'm a NYC based actor currently living in Austin, Texas with over 25 years of tap dance experience. I love to teach and perform, and pride myself on maintaining fun environment while working hard. I've toured with two Broadway shows nationally, and have extensive training with great teachers such as Jason Samuels Smith, Jason Janas, Nick Young, Derrick Grant and Acia Gray to name a few!

I especially enjoy teaching people how to improvise and find their own voice, and specialize in building up technique so you'll be able to tap exactly what you hear in your head.

(Can do group lessons for an additional fee)

Let me show you what I know!

Tap is a super fun form of dance and can be great exercise! It is one of my favorite things to teach because even a beginning tapper can really get moving/dancing right away, even with the beginning steps. Making rhythms and patterns with your feet is all sorts of fun, and offers infinite possibilities for choreography and growth.

I am a teacher of 13 years and I love what I do!

Tap is a fun style of dance that combines percussive footwork and rhythmic choreography for a great workout. My tap lessons include a warm up, technical training, across the floor, choreography, and improvisation. We begin with the basics while focusing on correct technique to build a solid foundation and style. From there we continue to build skills by adding more advanced patterns, intricate footwork, challenging techniques, and choreography. From classical roots to more contemporary adaptations, tap offers exciting dance training to people of every age and skill level.
