Frances Dempsey

Hitting age 70 this year just made Frances Dempsey kick into high gear ! 

 

She is Founding Director/Choreographer of the exciting and in-demand DALLAS TAP DAZZLERS, a group of 21 ladies who perform fast-paced tap and jazz throughout the Metroplex, as well as making appearances in other cities and out of State.

 

Born and raised in Oak Cliff -- currently lives in Farmers Branch, married for 43 years to Tom Dempsey, both active members of First Baptist Church/Richardson (yes, some Baptists DO dance!) and has one daughter. 

Frances directed a ladies performing choral group for 10 years before exchanging her song sheets for tap shoes 23 years ago.  

Frances is a former Kilgore College Rangerette officer and served as Secretary of the inaugural Follies Executive Board. 

She is up-beat, fun-loving, a people person and happy to be a part of the 2009 fantastic Follies, performing with the Dazzlers and the forever-young Ned Startzel.
