Teacher Training

Three Days Dedicated to Tap Dance Teachers
In-Person + Live Stream

What is it?

Tap Legacy Teacher Training is the first multi-day training present by Tap Legacy Foundation, and designed especially for teachers by Tap Legacy co-founder Andrew Nemr. Participants will engage in four distinct sessions for a total of 8 hours of training, over three days. A small in-person cohort will offer plenty of opportunity for dialogue, personal attention, and growth. An online option offers a live feed of each session. All participants have the option to access recordings of each session.

About Andrew Nemr

Mentored by Gregory Hines, and co-founder of the Tap Legacy™ Foundation, Andrew's tap dance career spans over three decades and almost every corner of Tap Dance Land. An international teacher, he has held positions at Broadway Dance Center, Steps on Broadway, Queens College, Montclair State University, and local dance studios. He has taught and spoken at Rhee Gold's Dance Life Teacher Conference, National Dance Education Organization National Conference, and tap dance festivals around the world. He founded and directed the tap dance company, Cats Paying Dues (2005-2015), who's members currently can be found on Broadway, touring, and teaching at the highest levels. His greatest joy is facilitating moments of discovery for dancers and dance educators.
