Case Prime is a tap dancer originally from Lake George, NY. In his teens he was an eager student in the American Tap Dance Foundation’s youth ensemble and studied weekly with Tina Fretto. In 2018, Case moved to Chicago, starting his dance career as an apprentice with Chicago Tap Theatre, directed by Mark Yonally. Also, upon his arrival in Chicago, Case got in class with Starinah Dixon and Bril Barrett at the M.A.D.D. Rhythms Tap Academy. He soon started his apprenticeship with M.A.D.D. and has been a company member since 2021. He is also grateful to be an alumnus of the 2021 Tap Program at the School at Jacob’s Pillow. Case has been teaching tap dance at numerous dance studios around the Chicago area since 2020, and has had the opportunity to teach at the esteemed tap festivals RIFF Dallas and the Chicago Tap Summit. Recently, Case introduced his own creative project, YellowShed, to the internet, sharing some of what he and his friends have been up to in his alleyway studio. Now, Case has moved back to the east coast, excitedly joining the NYC tap community.
