Jessie Sawyers is a Seattle-based tap dancer, who has had the honour of studying with tap masters Arthur Duncan, Dianne Walker, and the late tap greats Cholly Atkins, Gregory Hines, Fayard Nicholas, and Jimmy Slyde. Jessie is a tap dancer whose artistic expression is incredibly melodic, powerfully rhythmic, graceful, and exudes a deep love for improvised music collaboration.
Jessie has had the pleasure of working with Savion Glover, Mark Mendonca, Travis Knights, Seattle-based band The Teaching, and as an assistant to Dianne Walker. She has been on the faculty at the LA Tap Festival, as well as the Vancouver International Tap Dance Festival, where, in 2012, she was commissioned to direct and create choreography for the festival concert. Jessie was based in Austin, Texas as a principal dancer for Tapestry Dance Company’s 25th Anniversary. This Autumn/winter, as part of a world tour, Jessie will be teaching in both Japan and at the Australian Tap Dance Festival and will be teaching for us here in London.
