Project By
Connected as Drika Overton (602 friends)
I've been tap dancer, producer, choreographer and teacher for almost 30 years. Some of my production hits include The Portsmouth Percussive Dance Festival Sound of Movement concerts; Clara's Dream A Jazz Nutcracker (which toured the Northeast for 6 years and was re-mounted in 2009 after a successfully funded Kickstarter Project); Music Hall Follies: A Vaudeville in 9 Acts which featured Broadway and film actor Bill Irwin and tap dance legend Fayard Nicholas among many others; and Off The Beaten Path; A Jazz & Tap Odyssey commissioned by New England Presenters with support from the New England Foundation for the Arts.
This year I am producing a new holiday concert featuring acclaimed artists and longtime collaborators Brenda Bufalino, Josh Hilberman and Paul Arslanian and other phenomenal dancers and musicians.
I am currently on the Theatre Dance Department faculty of the Boston
Conservatory and am the founder and director of The Dance Hall in Kittery, Maine.
