Bio

Isla Niezgoda grew up dancing in Chicago and Minneapolis where she trained in many styles of dance including tap, jazz, ballet and lyrical. During that time, her main focus became rhythm tap; she joined Keane Sense of Rhythm Youth Tap Ensemble in 2004 and was a founding member of the Keane Sense of Rhythm Young Professional Company. Isla has had the opportunity to study tap dance under Lane Alexander, Jason Samuels Smith, Jason Janas, Dianne “Lady Di” Walker, Sam Weber, Derick Grant, and many more. She has performed around the United States as well as abroad and has been teaching both competition and recreational tap dance since 2010 at dance studios in Minnesota, Ohio and Massachusetts. Her choreography has earned dancers high score awards on numerous occasions.
