What people are saying

  • “Jennifer Bishop is all of the things I love about dancing. She is humble, integral, hilarious and one of the most technically superior and artistically creative tappers I have had the pleasure of meeting.”

    -Peg Giesbrecht, Instructor

  • “I'm so glad you took the time and effort to bring me to Vancouver. I know how much work it is to bring a guest artist. I feel I had a very special visit and I think it was the best way for me to learn of your work and that of the tap community because you introduced me to the artists, especially yourself, who are working hard to develop their creativity in Tap. Yes, this was a standout weekend for me - one I won't forget!”

    -Lynn Daly, Jazz Tap Ensemble

  • “Yesterday was indeed fun, full of anxiety, tension, excitement, and camaraderie. I did not allow fear in - made a few mistakes, but tried to smile through them. Jennifer, thank you so much for your expert instruction and ongoing support throughout the year. I particularly appreciated your non-pressure approach to performing and for allowing me to find my way towards it.”

    -Marken, Student

  • You do so much for your students and contribute to the culture of the community. You also do it in a sensitive and caring way. Thanks for having such a positive effect on our lives.

    -Mike, Student
