MEET SEAN KAMINSKI:

Across more than two decades, Kaminski has performed and taught at tap festivals and dance events around the country. In 2022, he joined the cast of Ayodele Casel’s "Chasing Magic" at New York’s Joyce Theater, a production built around tap’s musical range, ensemble exchange, and improvisational force. Today, he brings that experience to dancers nationwide as a JUMP Dance Convention faculty member.

Based in Los Angeles, he also performs with jazz musicians at the Lighthouse Café and shares tap studies and choreography online. His path as an artist shows how tap travels from scholarship programs and festival stages to convention ballrooms, jazz clubs, and the screens where dancers study his combinations step by step.
