Happy Birthday to my Soul Sister, the Queen, the Legend- Nina Simone.

Nothing touches my soul quite as deep as her artistry, in so many ways... Her music has carried me through the darkest of days, and has been the records we play on those carefree summer afternoons. Her life, her thoughts, her voice, herSTORY... Her Legacy lives on.

Train as Athletes, Perform as Artists 💪🏼 in SAN FRANCISCO

Was a blessing to train and choreograph for the incredible dancers at @wspa.tap. Big thank you to @loreekenagy for having me 🙏🏼

After 7 hours with my teen/sr group 🙌🏼 killed it!

A little snippet of choreography from a duo I set 🎹

Junior choreography group- goofballs after 7 hours!

My duo- y’all smashed it! 4 hours, cooked and DONE!

One of my favorite tunes, and I saved it for the teen/sr group 🔥🔥🔥

Junior choreography group- such a beautiful group of up and coming tap dancers!

We’re proud to announce our collaboration with @saf.shoes! An official Reverb Tap Company shoe is being created!

Together, we’ve created a special & custom-designed black and gold tap shoe made for Reverb artists. A well crafted shoe that allows us to move comfortably, confidently, and authentically while celebrating who we are as artists.

A huge thank you to Jacky at @saf.shoes for this collaboration and for your support of Reverb Tap Company. We’re so grateful to be creating together!
