Raised in NH, Ayan began tap dancing in local dance studios as a child. Ayan was awarded a Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Grant by the New Hampshire State Council on the Arts with blues musician, TJ Wheeler. Since working with Wheeler, Ayan has strived to perform throughout New England bringing the dance to the music.

The culmination of jazz music and tap dance is a tradition that has been passed along through the music. This is an expression of our gratitude to those dedicated to preserve this dance and this music, as well as those committed to progress the form.
