I advance the art form of tap dance through my explorations of sound, text, music and American history. Through the improvisational forms of tap dance and jazz music, I maintain a daily devotional practice of clearing paths; drawing attention to people, shared concepts, and legacies and have been covered over by time. Telling 'jazz stories,’ especially those about women in jazz who are specifically described in history as under-rated, or unappreciated, is how I bring together my creative streams of dance, music, writing and shared narratives. I intentionally place my work where audiences can experience tap dance as an instrument: in public libraries, community gardens and museums, on commercial corridors, street corners, and jazz venues. I’m invested in the communities that contribute to the next evolutions of the dance.
