Heather was mentored by many of the legendary Hoofers and has gone on to be artistic director of the acclaimed Manhattan Tap company which was responsible for training many of today’s generation of tap artists.These workshops are open to anyone with some experience of tap and you can even use a pair of our tap shoes for free.
