Maud Arnold is one half of a sisterly duo who have been revolutionising the world of tap dance.
She and older sister Chloe started dancing at an early age in Washington DC - learning a bit of everything - ballet, jazz and tap.
But it was tap that really fired them up, with both having the opportunity to train with tap legends - Maud won a scholarship to the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.
The pair founded an all-women dance band called Syncopated Ladies - a high energy celebration of female empowerment - which won the first dance crew battle on So You Think You Can Dance and has attracted world-wide fans and followers - including Beyonce.
Their charity, the Chloe and Maud Foundation helps give underprivileged kids access to dance through events like the annual DC Tap Fest - the biggest tap festival in the world.
New Zealanders can see Maud's work in a new movie out as part of the New Zealand International Film Festival, Theater Camp, about eccentric staff at a rundown theatre-focused summer camp.
Maud joins Susie to talk about her role in choreographing the film and her love of working with young dancers.
