NDA celebrates the prestigious dance career of Dianne Walker by presenting her with the Heritage Award. Dianne’s lifetime of dedication to the art form of tap dance has taken her to Broadway, television, theatre, universities, workshops, and jazz venues throughout the world. She is considered a pioneer in the resurgence of tap dancing and is known fondly as “America’s First Lady of Tap.” Her talents are exemplary as a choreographer, performer, teacher, director, and mentor.
