from: Dance Spirit Magazine Shining StarName: Starinah Audretta Dixon, or Star to those who know her well
All in the family: Starinah was raised in a tap-dancing family-- her mother and brother are both tap dancers. In fact, she began to tap at such a young age that neither she nor her family rememebers exactly when. Her brother, Jabowen, received an honorable mention in the DS Cover Model Search Contest.
Studying up: In addition to regularly taking hip-hop and African dance classes, Starinah teaches stepping and tap through MADD Rhythms at Chicago's South Shore Cultural Center and at Sand Creek Dance Centre in Chesterton, IN, as well as workshops at the company's annual Tap Summit.
On the big screen: Starinah was recently featured in the independent film The Rise and Fall of Miss Thang starring Dormeisha Sumbry-Edwards and Martin "Tre" Dumas III. (for more: missthangmovie.com)
Biggest fan: When Imagine Tap! played at Chicago's Harris Theater, Starinah saw the show nine times--that's more than twice a week during the show's 4 week run. "I was their professional audience screamer," she says.
