Tap instructor looking for driven students

I have 20 years of dance experience. I specialize in tap, jazz, ballet and hip hop. I have 3 years of tap dancing experience in New York city in an off roadway show called Slide. I currently teach youth in the public schools as well as at a local studio. I teach private lessons currently at my parents home by will have my own location in downtown grand rapids later this summer.
I like to focus on rhythms and understanding tap dancing from a musical aspect. I use creative methods to teach students.

At Hope College I received a liberal arts education. So even though I have a degree in music theatre, I am also well-educated in other fields. For instance I wasn't required to take Calculus in college, however, I took this challenging course and I passed the class with an A. I have also worked ... read more
