Artistic Director
(Sean C. Feilder during the Q&A section of Rhythm In The Night )
First, I would like to give thanks to the most high because without the most high nothing is possible. I would also like to thank my mother and every family member and friend that has stayed by my side through thick and thin. I wouldn’t have made it this far in life if it were not for them. Finally, I would like to say that I am proud of who I am and where I am going in life and it is my goal to give and pass on the same love and support that I have received my entire life and to be an inspiration to all that I come across in life. Tap is my life and without it I can no longer exist. I can’t imagine where I would be in life if there was no such thing as (TAP). It is the tempo that I live by. And with that said, I am going to start the rest of this with a phrase all of of tap dancers know and love because without it we can’t start. 5 6 7 8
