WORK WITH

TAP MASTERS

Ms. Cornell began her career in apprenticeship to six of the first generation of American tap masters, and had the honor of performing frequently with Buster Brown, Eddie Brown, Harriet Browne, Cookie Cook, Steve Condos and Chuck Green.

 

Over the years, Manhattan Tap commissioned numerous works from and shared the stage with these tap dancers and more, including Diane Walker, Germaine Ingram, Gregory Hines and Fred Strickler.  

 

Known for her innovative collaborations on original music for tap, Ms. Cornell was the only tap dancer mentored by the great bassist, Ray Brown, who was one of her most profound influences.
