Advanced Tracking & Counter-Tracking

Reading sign on rock, sand, and hardpan. Aging tracks by moisture and wind. Counter-tracking -- how to move without leaving sign. I could track a man across bare rock by the scuff marks and disturbed pebbles. Tip: Everything that moves leaves evidence. Your job is to see what others walk past.

Screen Acting for Dancers -- When the Music Stops

I won my Oscar in a drama, not a musical. Dancers make extraordinary actors because we understand timing, physicality, and emotional expression through the body. I teach dancers how to carry those skills into dialogue scenes. Tip: Every pause in dialogue is a rest in music. Feel it that way.

1930s Dance Costume Collection (Gowns, Heels, Feathers)

Three replica gowns from the Astaire-Rogers films: the feathered dress from Top Hat (it shed everywhere -- Fred hated it and I loved it), the satin from Swing Time, and the beaded from Shall We Dance. Includes matching dance heels. Handle with care -- the beading is hand-sewn.

Action Film Preparation Workshop -- Body as Weapon

For The Matrix, I trained four months. For John Wick, six months. I teach you the actor's approach to combat training: not to fight, but to look like you've been fighting your whole life. Jiu-jitsu, judo throws, gun handling, and the physical stamina to do take after take. Tip: Train until the movement disappears and only the character remains.

Partner Dance Workshop -- The Art of Following

Everyone wants to learn to lead. Nobody teaches you to follow brilliantly. Following is interpretation in real time -- you feel the lead's intention through your frame and translate it into movement, often in reverse, often in heels. We work on frame, connection, and musical sensitivity. Tip: The best follower makes every leader feel like a genius.

Prop Weapons Collection (Breakaway Chairs, Rubber Bottles, Foam Pipes)

Sugar glass bottles, balsa wood chairs, foam pipes, rubber bricks -- everything you need for a prop fight scene. I've used more chairs as weapons than any actor in history. They break beautifully on camera and barely sting in person. Barely.

Dance Cane (Bamboo, Performance Grade)

A performance-weight bamboo cane -- the same kind I used in Puttin' on the Ritz and Top Hat. A cane transforms a walk into a performance. We practice twirls, tosses, and the gentleman's lean. Lighter than it looks, stronger than you'd think.

Dancing in Heels Workshop -- Grace Under Pressure

I danced in three-inch heels on polished floors going backwards. It requires ankle strength, balance, and nerve. We start with low heels on a forgiving surface and work up. Tip: The heel hits the ground differently than a flat shoe -- you must relearn your weight placement from the ground up.

Three-Gun Tactical Training Workshop

Pistol, rifle, and shotgun -- safe handling, reload drills, transition drills, and shoot-on-the-move technique. I trained at Taran Tactical for John Wick and now I compete in 3-gun matches for fun. Safety is absolute. We start with fundamentals and build up. Tip: Slow is smooth, smooth is fast.

Crash Mats & Safety Pads (Full Stunt Kit)

Eight crash mats in various sizes, knee pads, elbow pads, and a body harness. This is the safety equipment my stunt team uses for medium-height falls and wall work. Tip: Never do a stunt for the first time on camera. Rehearse until the fear becomes respect.

Stunt Safety & Fall Training Workshop

Before you can do a stunt, you need to know how to fall. We cover breakfalls, rolls, wall hits, and stair tumbles on mats. I've broken nearly every bone in my body -- YOU don't have to. Safety isn't about being careful. It's about being PREPARED. We drill until the landing is automatic.

Tap Dance -- The Art of Effortless Complexity

My tap style is different from Gene's. He's power. I'm precision. We work on clean sounds, syncopation, and the illusion of spontaneity that only comes from ruthless preparation. Tip: If the audience can see you counting, you haven't practiced enough.
