dear tap students:

This week we welcome back Robyn!

​She will be teaching Thursday workshops, Friday workshop classes. We are also thrilled to share that she will be choreographing our 4 tap workshop groups on Thursdays to be presented at the 20th Annual Nolte Academy Recitals at Hancher.

Robyn will be joining us for 8-10 weeks this Spring to prepare our classes for the stage. Please note: Friday workshops are not recital classes and she will use this time for technique and rudiments. If you have a solo/duet/trio needing extra work - let me know if you'd like to schedule a rehearsal with her with your availability noted for this Friday and Saturday. For her future weekends, we will send out a sign up genius.
