This is magic. Thank you so much.

I dont get all the hate comments. Im a tap dancer, no formal training at all, and have gotten lots of hate. What she’s doing is showing that anyone can take part of the art form. Seeing her do this makes me feel like I deserve to be part of the art form like anyone else. I don’t have the privilege to have tap classes near me but it doesn’t make me less of a dancer.
