What People Are Saying About Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards
“If ever there were a performer to prove that tap is equal parts dance and music, it is this singularly authoritative artist. Fiercely elegant, she uses her entire body to create rhythms and finish phrases, while never suggesting mere decoration.”
