-Tracy Topp started her dance training at an early age and has a background in ballet, tap, and jazz. She's also a student of African, Middle Eastern, and modern dance. Tracy's studied African dance with a number of teachers including Djeneba Sako, Mabiba Baenge, Manimou Camara, and Youssouf Koumbassa, and she's been teaching African dance for over a decade. When she isn't moving to the music, Tracy is often playing it. Her interest in African dance emerged from a love of African drumming. She's been studying hand drumming for the last 14 years with her teacher and life partner, Matthew Marsolek. Tracy regularly performs with Missoula's Djebe Bara drum and dance ensemble and occasionally shares the stage with Drum Brothers. Since 2002, she's been contributing her artistic talents to Drum Brothers with the manufacture of custom frame drums, jewelry, painted drums, and henna art.
