Cathy Callahan brings over 35 years of tap dancing experience to Broadway Bound Dance Center. She is a certified dance instructor through Dance Educators of America. Her new title of 'feature writer' will find her article, Teachers Teaching Teachers, in the June 2005 edition of the International Tap Association magazine "On Tap".

Miss Cathy began her tap career at the Joyce Academy of Dance and Theatrical Arts in Garwood. She extended her studies at various studios across New Jersey. Cathy has also studied jazz, ballet, and pantomime. She has performed in community theater with The Overlook Musical Society in Summit and The New Theatre in Bernardsville concentrating in musical comedies.

While studying in Chester, she and her adult tap colleagues captured first place in the tap division at the Eastern Performing Arts competition. She continues her tap education with instructor and tap historian, Kathleen Cirioli of Hillsborough.

Here in Hunterdon County, Miss Cathy has choreographed competitive solo and group routines for the past fifteen years and has led many of these teams to victory. She previously co-choreographed a dance production number which was performed in Disney and Universal Studios in Florida. Currently, she manages the studios' tap team, Broadway Rhythms.

An avid volunteer, she is also the studio's coordinator for off-site charitable performances held at nursing homes in and around the surrounding communities. A self-pronounced 'technique-freak', she continues to reinforce dance skills, instilling a solid foundation for toddlers through adults.
