First tap memory
Watching the original Hot Shoe Shuffle with Dein Perry, Christopher Horsey, Adam Garcia, Dale Pengally, Kevin Coyne, Rhonda Burchmore, Sheldon Perry, David Atkins & Jack Webster. This show is what started my tap journey.
Most memorable tap class
Arthur Duncan at the Montreal Tap Festival in 2013 – what an inspiration and wealth of knowledge!
