Originally from Metro Detroit, Michigan, Summer began dancing at the age of three at Main Stage Center for the Arts. She studied all styles with a particular passion for tap and danced both recreationally and competitively. She was given the opportunity to assist and then teach tap at the studio as well. She joined the Detroit Tap Repertory under Denise Caston as an adolescent and continued her dance training under her, Regina Ihns, and Laurie Papovich. After high school, Summer attended Marymount Manhattan College where she minored in dance. While living in New York City, she also attended consistent classes at Broadway Dance Center to continue her tap training. Now based in Boston, Summer is a member of DanceWorks Boston and a Barre3 instructor outside of her day job.
