Friday Morning Jazz: Guest Teacher Emily Broeker This Week

Come groove with Emily Broeker at this week’s Friday Morning Jazz class at Zenon Dance School!

She has performed professionally in Minneapolis and Chicago with companies such as Buckets And Tap Shoes, Chicago Tap Theatre, Flying Foot Forum, Eclectic Edge Ensemble, and Keane Sense Of Rhythm. As a choreographer, Emily has had her work featured in the shows Rhythmically Speaking and Rooted: A Hip-Hop Choreographer’s Evening.
