Gin Minsky started hitting the stage with taps on her feet at the tender age of five and hasn’t looked back since. She got her start as a classically trained dancer studying jazz, ballet, pointe, tap and modern – but tap seemed to stick as she hit the back streets of New York City, working every cabaret and vaudeville show in town. She is now known as New York City’s premiere 1920s tapping burlesque performer.
 
Taking her lead from Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and Anita Berber, Gin can be seen performing across the stages of NYC, as well as coast-to-coast. With a short skirt and shorter hair, this flapper has been appearing dolled up and charming crowds in over 80 venues like the Philadelphia Museum of Art, P.S. 122, Joe’s Pub, Iridium Jazz Club, McKittrick Hotel, the Copacabana, The Darby, and the Highline Ballroom, to name a few. Gin has also been featured in the line-up of popular events including Dances of Vice, NYC Food & Wine Festival, The Salon, Tease-O-Rama, the Jazz Age Lawn Party and the “Oscars of Burlesque”, The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekend.
 

Accomplished as a solo performer, Gin can also be found partnering with dance legend Roddy Caravella, the Champagne Riot’s Dandy Wellington, and as one half of the Minsky Sisters with Kristen Minsky. Gin’s own sensational brand of brisk and brilliantly beautiful tap majesty has been featured in the pages of the NY Times, The New Yorker, NY Post, Zelda Magazine, AM New York, Village Voice and Providence Pulse, as well as on the big screen in “Gin Town”. She is also a founder and producer of the vaudevillian collective The Champagne Riot
 

With some hot jazz in the air and hooch in hand, this dame’ll give you an edge… and how!
