Today we released part one of our interview with Los Angeles-based dancer, Christopher Erk. For 20 years he’s traveled the world as a professional tap dance performer, teacher, and choreographer. Most recently he has toured with Tap Dogs, Scott Bradlee's Postmodern Jukebox, and was a featured Artist in Las Vegas's number one show, Absinthe at Caesar's Palace.

In addition to his dancing, he’s the Founding Artistic Director of the Tap Factor, a production company that emphasizes the global implications of Tap Dance through all-inclusive workshops and performance opportunities that tour internationally throughout the year.
