As the Artistic Director of the Melbourne International Tap Festival and more recently, Hip Hop / Funk / Tap Dance band TeAyPe, he is a truly positive energy in the promotion and education of the
beautiful art form called "Tap Dancing." He has appeared and written for dance magazines such as Dance Spirit, The International Tap Association, Australian Dance Teacher, Dance Train, On Tap, and New Zealand Dancer.
Grant continues to bring headline Tap Artists down under with the intention to educate and bring more people to the art form.
His own band TeAyPe and tap troupe, the “Swift Rhythm Hoofers” continue to represent TAP in Australia at its highest level, inspired by African roots.
He has earned praises of such legends as Gregory Hines and Dr.Jimmy Slyde.
