ABOUT DOORTJE PETERS

Doortje Peters is a multidisciplinary tapdance artist from Amsterdam. She started rhythm tap at the age of 6, under guidance of Marike Hetjes. Growing up, Doortje would frequently visit international festivals where tap greats such as Michelle Dorrance, Chloë Arnold, Jason Samuels Smith and Sam Weber would intensively teach her the many aspects of tap. Doortje is currently a dance tutor of various levels at the Amsterdam Dance Centre and Studio Frankies. As of 2017 she is also part of a unique water spectacle MARE, under name of Theater group Vis à Vis. With her company called Tappin-It Collective, she creates short, explosive acts, as well as theatrical tap shows where she combines tap with mime and percussion. Doortje uses tapdance as a percussion instrument. This angle of approach returns frequently in her lessons, and will also have the main focus during the upcoming masterclass given on July 21st.
