Introducing our Coaches!!

Emily Gruenwald is Coaching Zoey Tingler and Rachel Newby!

Emily Gruenwald has been tap dancing for 38 years. She began taking lessons as a child in Iowa and never stopped! Prior to moving to Yachats in 2021, she lived in Washington, D.C. where she was a member of SOLEdarity Tap Company and studied under Baakari Wilder (Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk) for 10 years. Committed to lifelong learning, Emily regularly attends national tap festivals and trainings, including a four-day tap choreography workshop this summer. She currently teaches a mixed level adult/teen tap class at Yaquina Barre Dance.

This is Emily’s first year coaching DWTCS and she is thrilled to represent Team Tap!

Samaritan House and the Dancing with the Coastal Stars comity would like to give a much needed shout out to
Yaquina Barre Dance Studios!

The owners Jessica Steenkolk and Kerry De Lisser-Shanks have been so kind to let all of our dancers practice at their studios for free! How amazing!!
We are so appreciative of their generosity, donating practice space for one of biggest fundraising events of the year helps us tremendously!

Thank you so much for your kindness

The Adult Jazz class will also be perfoming in DWTCS to a song named River by Bishop Briggs!

We cannot wait to see all the dances, community members and smiles at the event!
