Benae Beamon

Benae Beamon is from North Carolina and started tap dancing with the acclaimed North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble under the direction of Gene Medler, which gave her the opportunity to work with Michelle Dorrance, Ayodele Casel, Harold Cromer, and more. She went on to earn a BA from Colgate University and an MA from Yale University and is currently in a post-graduate program at Boston University. Along with April Nieves, another Subject:Matter company member, she began and continues to run a biweekly, Boston-based tap jam, which provides a space for dancers and musicians alike to gather, create, and support one another as an artistic community.
