Karin, a native of Philadelphia, Pa., is a working choreographer and teacher residing in New York City.

She has also directed a youth tap company in South Florida where her students and choreography were recognized with numerous awards at a variety of competitions on both regional and national levels. In addition, Karin continues to teach master classes and create choreography for many students all over the country as well as teaching on the competition/convention circuit and can be found on faculty with Dance Teachers United, Throwdown Dance Challenge, True Talent & Groove Competition. Though her specialty is tap, Karin also teaches jazz, hip hop, pre-ballet, ballet, acro and creative movement classes for young movers. She currently can be found on faculty at Peridance Capezio Center (NYC) in both their children and adult programs, Dance ETC. (Newtown, CT), Bedazzle Dance Studio (Staten Island, NY), & Dance Cavise (Mamaroneck, NY).

I learned that you are never too old!
I have taken several "creative movement" classes and the experience has been outstanding. As a woman in my 60's i never imagined that i would enjoy any type of exercise. Voila...creative movement is quite an experience......i intend to continue with the classes as they are clearly affecting my health in a positive way. I never thought "moving" could be so much fun!

Fun, energetic, and talented teacher.
My boyfriend arranged private beginner tap classes for us as a Christmas present, and I was so lucky that he found Karin to teach them! Each session was such a blast, and Karin is a truly gifted teacher. Hoping for another round of classes for my birthday ;)

wonderful experience--highly recommend!
I am a single father who was trying to find my 3 y/o son some beginner guitar lessons, but when I joked out loud about dance lessons he jumped all over it and that was it. Ms Karin was great from the beginning! Not only did my son learn how to tap from Ms Karin, but she brought out this enthusiam in him that he shows for very few things. Her passion for dance was obvious as she taught my son and its this passion that makes me think Ms Karin can teach anyone.
