Instructor Marcus Taggart

After dancing with the local legend Shirley Meeks for
seven years, Marcus has picked up the torch and
now teaches classes with his partner Cora Elliot.  

Teaching American style social dancing, Marcus believes dancing
was meant to be fun. “It’s only dancing. My job is to make the person
I’m dancing with look good.”  Marcus and Cora teach lessons at the
Wicomico Civic Center.  When not teaching classes, they are often
found at the Green Door. A private studio of Don Wasser’s in
Salisbury. “I’ve been quite lucky. I have two wonderful partners. Cora
whom I have been dancing with the last seven years, and Elena
McWilliams who is a young and upcoming dancer. People who
dance become family. We become a community within a community.”
