Brenda Starr Woods

Founder, I Can Tap Workshop/Seniors Tap the Hoofers Club

Brenda Starr Woods often says she was "born dancing." Raised by dancer parents, with a mother who performed with the renowned Chocolate Steppers, she developed a lifelong passion for the performing arts.

Brenda began her career with the Chicago Park District in 1968 as a Dance Specialist and retired in 1998 as a Park Supervisor. Throughout her career, she trained dance instructors, taught tap dance to children, adults, and seniors, and developed innovative arts programs throughout the Chicago area.

A trained theater and dance professional, Brenda studied tap, ballet, jazz, and modern dance under many distinguished instructors, including Tommy Sutton, Sammy Dyer, Joel Hall, and Julian Swain. She has performed and choreographed for numerous theater productions and community organizations and was the founder of Starr, Inc., a modeling, talent, and theatrical performance agency.

Brenda is the Founder and CEO of Seniors Tap the Hoofers Club and has dedicated decades to promoting dance, wellness, and creative expression for all ages. She has taught at schools, park districts, senior centers, churches, and community organizations throughout Chicago, inspiring generations of dancers.

A passionate advocate for positive aging, Brenda was inducted into the Senior Citizens Hall of Fame in 2012 and has served as a motivational speaker and community leader. Her work continues to enrich lives through the arts, and her dancers have performed at Millennium Park's Jay Pritzker Pavilion and other prestigious Chicago venues.

Through the I Can Tap Workshop, Brenda shares her knowledge, experience, and love of tap dance, encouraging participants to discover confidence, rhythm, and joy through movement.
