One of the advantages of dancing within Capitol Tap is the private access to working with beautiful artists like Andrew J. Nemr tonight inside rehearsal. He's also teaching a class at our home studio Knock On Wood Tap Studio this Friday, registration is open!

CREATE!

I'm looking forward to working with these two wonderful companies (Capitol Tap + District Tap). Working with both youth and adult, around specific learning objectives, make in-person trainings different than normal tap dance workshops. Having the opportunity to share experiences from my days with Savion Glover (Real Tap Skills and TiDii) and directing my own tap dance company (Cats Paying Dues) makes these events extra special.

Interested in designing an exclusive event for your group? DM me for collaborations.
