As soloist, choreographer, master teacher and author, Ms. Gray has toured extensively across the U.S. and abroad to include England, Ireland, the Czech Republic, Cyprus, Spain, Brazil, Canada and Austria.

In 1989, she co-founded Tapestry Dance Company in Austin, TX with Deirdre Strand and currently serves as Executive/Artistic Director as well as the Artistic Director of The Soul to Sole Tap Festival in Austin.  A graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts/NYC, Along with Tapestry Dance Company, she was a founding member and Managing Director of the touring company Austin on Tap throughout the l980’s, served on the steering committee of The International Tap Association and was a featured soloist in the l990 Dance Magazine calendar and taught an accredited tap program at the University of Texas. 

When Gray was just starting out, she recalls having to dance in drag because there were so few professional women in the field.

Described as a "short-haired, prizefighting tap dancer", by Brenda Bufalino, it took time and exposure to other women in tap to see another way to do what she loves and give voice to her own sense of expression.  What she learned from veterans like Dianne Walker and Brenda Bufalino was "elegance", and the "pleasures of a less aggressive style" of tap.

Ms. Gray has shared the stage with such tap greats as Lon Chaney, Chuck Green, Steve Condos, Brenda Bufalino, Donald O’Connor, Fayard Nicholas, Buster Brown, Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Jimmy Slyde, Sarah Petronio, Dianne Walker and many others in such productions as The Great Tap Reunion, Tap Do/Wop, Just Friends, Masters of Tap, Tap City, Chicago on Tap and The Soul to Sole Festival  to name a few.  Ms. Gray was chosen as one of 12 dancers to work with the late tap legend Charles ‘Honi’ Coles in America’s first creative residency for tap at The Colorado Dance Festival in 1989 and again in l990 with Jimmy Slyde and was also featured in the documentary A Class Act: The Magic of Honi Coles.

Her critically acclaimed book and Amazon.com category bestseller The Souls of Your Feet – A Tap Dance Guide for Rhythm Explorers is available at all major bookstores and has been translated in the Czech Republic.  Recently profiled in Dance Teacher Now magazine, Ms. Gray also serves on the NEA funded Steering Committee for the National Tap Plan and her work The Souls of Our Feet – a Celebration of American Tap Dance was recently chosen for the 2007-2008 touring roster of the National Endowment for the Arts American Masterpieces: Dance.
