Below are the presentations given by members of the West Coast Tap Dance Collective on the Tap Masters.
This is a work in progress.
Heather Cornell
Buster Brown called her “one of the best tap teachers in the world.”
A living example of rhythm and style, Heather Cornell has apprenticed with many of the first generation of American Tap masters,
toured the world performing, teaching, and choreographing, and forged a new style of tap.
And she had her beginnings here in Canada. Read more about Heather Cornell

Jeni LeGon
Dr. Jeni LeGon was one of the first African American women in tap dance to develop a solo career.
A career, very much on her own terms. In a sea of chorus girls in short skirts and high heels, she was centre stage
in pants and low-heeled shoes. Her routines combining flash, acrobatics, and rhythm tap proved you didn’t have
to be a man to dance like a hoofer. Read more about Jeni LeGon.
