Dance Mentors
with Christopher Horsey & Bailey Graham
CHRIS HORSEY
Horsey has performed onstage since 1989 in productions including 42nd Street (original Australian cast), Funny Girl, West Side Story, Chicago and Singin' in the Rain.
Horsey rose to fame in the early 1990s as an original cast member of Hot Shoe Shuffle, "The first Australian musical with an all-Australian cast to make it to the West End", in which he originated the role of "Tip", touring Australia, New Zealand, Japan and the Queens Theatre in London. He continued working with Dein Perry, joining Tap Dogs on their North American tour which included six months at the Off-Broadway Union Square Theatre.
BAILEY GRAHAM
Bayley Graham is redefining what it means to be a tap dancer in the modern era. Hailing from Christchurch, New Zealand, Bayley first fell in love with tap at the age of seven after seeing it on TV - and he hasn’t stopped since. What started in a local dance studio quickly became a lifelong obsession with rhythm, storytelling, and showmanship.
Known as the “Prince of Tap,” Bayley captivates audiences with his exhilarating speed, magnetic stage presence, and his unique ability to fuse old-school charm with high-voltage modern energy. His performances feel like a conversation between eras—Fred Astaire meets the modern day.
