Star Dixon is an assistant director, choreographer, and original principal dancer of world renowned tap company, MADD Rhythms. She has taught and performed at the most distinguished tap festivals in the country including The L.A. Tap Fest, DC Tap Fest, & RIFF Dallas. She’s performed internationally in Poland, Japan, and Brazil to name a few. Performance venues include Jacob’s Pillow, Kennedy Center, and the Lincoln Center. She’s performed as a guest with such companies as Michelle Dorrance’s Dorrance Dance and Savion Glover’s All Funk’d Up. Star is currently on staff at numerous dance studios in the Chicagoland area.
This year will be spent collaborating with musicians to compose and arrange original music. I’ll be creating, choreographing, and recording 5 songs in the genres that have been very influential in my upbringing, later lending to my artistic style. I will then have a listening party where I perform the tracks from the album live with the musicians and some special guest tap dancers.
