It’s hard to overstate the amount of excitement in the room during a tap dance performance.
The communication between the performers and audience is unlike any other dance experience - where dancer and musician become one as the pulse of their rhythms vibrate through the entire theater.
Through international touring and regular season performances here in New York, we share the power of tap dance with over 30,000 audience members – including 6,000 students – at more than 30 venues in the course of one year!
Each year, we create world premieres, tour existing productions to new communities, seek opportunities for compelling collaborations, and educate the next generation of tap dancers.
And it’s because of supporters like YOU that we can keep it all going!
Help support our family of artists and staff with your donation today.
Thank you for your generosity.
