ABOUT

Building Community Through Tap Dance…
Featured in The Wall Street Journal and Dance Teacher Magazine, Common Ground was created by Justin Boccitto and Germaine Salsberg in 2019.

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 and perspectives. The project has grown into a global community with over 60k followers on Instagram. We offer classes in NYC and Denver as well as a library of Class Recordings you can take anytime from anywhere in the world.

Common Ground continues to travel the country, bringing master classes, residencies, choreography, seminars, and more to studios and organizations nationwide with our On Tour series. In 2025, CG’s performance company, Common Sound, was formed in Colorado. Want to join the Common Ground community? Contact us and let us know if we can collaborate!
