ABOUT

Featured in The Wall Street Journal and Dance Teacher Magazine, Common Ground was created by Justin Boccitto and Germaine Salsberg.

It began in New York City as a space for tap dancers to learn from teachers who create an environment for students of all styles. Currently we offer in-person classes in NYC as well as a library of class recordings you can take anytime from anywhere.

Common Ground is also traveling cross-country, bringing master classes back to studios.

STATEMENT OF SOLIDARITY

 

Common Ground’s founders and teachers strive to build an inclusive, equitable, and diverse environment. We continue to strengthen our commitment to our BIPOC and Asian/Asian American colleagues, friends and community, vowing to always listen and learn. Celebrating an art form that was created by the African culture is one our core goals, always putting this at the forefront of our teaching, sharing, and passing down to younger generations.
