He would like to thank the following hoofers who without their contribution his own career would not have been possible: Donna Kalish, Bryan Berry, Susan Hebach, Dianne Walker, Van Porter, Brenda Buffalino, and the following late great Masters: Buster Brown, Henry LeTang, Gregory Hines, Jimmy Slyde, Prince Spencer, Bunny Briggs (who will forever be an incredible influence and inspirer), and good friend and mentor Jeremy Kiesman (protégé of both Henry LeTang and Buster Brown, and a student of Chuck Green). Jason has proudly been with Hollywood Connection since its inception and is grateful for the opportunity to perpetuate the art of American Tap Dance nationwide.
