About Me | In 1987 I took on Las Vegas where I taught at the Osmond’s Performance Academy teaching tap and jazz dance. In 1989 I went to L.A. and danced for Princess Cruises, I eventually came back to Las Vegas and worked with the University of Nevada Las Vegas for 3 years assisting choreographer Jackie Jaeger and dancing in such shows as “Kiss me Kate, Oklahoma, and Best little whorehouse in Texas”.

I had the opportunity to study with tap legend Henry LeTang, My relationship as student and protégé lasted for 10 years in Las Vegas, within that time I worked on several projects with Mr. LeTang in Las Vegas, Colorado and L.A. assisting him with staging, technical direction and production.

While working with Mr. LeTang I had the opportunity to study and work with vocal teacher and coach Kenneth Kamal Scott from New York. . While in Las Vegas I appeared in several Industry Videos with James Coburn and had the opportunity to work on the movie “Indecent proposal” with Demi Moore and Woody Harrelson.
