Seattle Dance

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Seattle Dance

This Saturday, June 16, is the day of my big tap dance recital with Anthony Peters' Tap Dance Seattle. 

There are two performances, one at 1 p.m. and the second at 3:15 p.m. Both are at the Langston Hughes Performing Arts Center, 104 17th Ave S., Seattle.

Tickets can by bought at the door or through Brown Paper Tickets. They are $14 for general admission, $8 for students and seniors.

The day starts early with a tech rehearsal, with some dancers teching as early as 9:30!

I am excited about the adorable outfit I get to wear.  The last time I was in a dance recital, it was for children's ballet, and I wore a pretty red satin dress.

Now I am a grown-up, and get to wear cool black. I'm wearing a shirt from the studio, and a really great skirt.

My class is dancing to Lou Rawls singing "Scotch and Soda." It's very groovy, y'all.

I'm very excited for this recital. I hope to see you seeing me there!

Tap Dance Classes Seattle

Gina Wilhelm Actress - Tap Dance Classes Seattle

Today I started a new quarter of tap dance classes Seattle, the winter session of classes at Anthony Peters' Tap Dance Seattle.

My teacher, Anthony Peters, studied with tap icon Jerry Ames in New York City. Anthony performed in the Jerry Ames Tap Dance Company and the Gail Conrad Tap Dance Theatre. Both companies were important in the tap dance revival of the 1980's. Anthony's a skilled tap technician, and a good (and very entertaining) instructor!

I am pleased and proud to have received the 2011 Tap Dance Scholarship from The WILD SIDE Foundation (a charitable and educational non-profit, based in Hollywood, California, which benefits artistic and gifted performers of all ages).

I am grateful to The WILD SIDE Foundation for this generous scholarship.
I look forward to a new quarter of fun tap combos! Tap tap tappity tap tap!
