Working as a legal assistant by day, you can see her passion for music expressed in her performances as a lead singer with the Painkiller Blues Band and singer with local blues sensation Candy Foster and The Shades of Blue. Both bands play locally on a regular basis.

In her interviews, Dawn recounts dances learning from her mom and aunts, why she dances and her impressions of Chicago Soul Step.
