@stockholmtapfestival 2026!!! Firstly, thank you so much to Jonas and Andrew for helping me get to the festival this year. It wouldn't have been possible without your support ❤️

Thank you to all the teachers that shared their knowledge with me. My appreciation and understanding of Tap has deepened further.

There were two Tap Dancers in my life that I had to meet and work with. One was Savion Glover and the other was Daniel Borak. Last year I met Savion and this year I had the absolute privilege of meeting Daniel. You are a legend my friend and I am so excited to have finally made contact with you. I look forward to continuing this relationship and sharing the floor with you again in the future. @tap.dan

Special shoutout to @fabio.guillelmon. I enjoyed every moment we had with each other, especially living together throughout the week. It's rare to meet another Tap Dancer with the same mindset, passion and creativity. Even tho we live on separate parts of the world, that won't stop us from working together. New Zealand and Switzerland are coming for the world 🌎 Love you brother ❤️

This year I also had the chance to be on the Festival Team. It was so great working with everyone and seeing how it all comes together. So much work goes into this event and I am very grateful it exists. Thanks for a great chats everyone :)

This truly is the greatest Tap Festival. Not only does it bring the world together but the community here is the friendliest I have ever come across. Coming all the way from NZ can be tiring but its well worth the journey to connect with all the other countries. Look forward to the next one. Will be back 🔥
