John Sikorski

John is a percussive dancer, photographer and musician from Skye. He has performed and taught in the traditional dance and music scene for 30 years. His strongly improvised style was influenced through study with percussive dancers in various traditions including Canada, the Appalachians and Ireland. Early projects included cross cultural collaborations, touring his 7-strong Scottish Stepdance Company at festivals in the UK and Europe. More recently he has focused on the rhythm tap genre in jazz. His workshops explore musicality, feeling grooves and building rhythmic patterns.
