TAP is music, rhythm, tone, expression shown through feet.
TAP the show is inspired by the origins of the art of tap dancing, but it also pushes the boundaries as to what is possible today. The show includes a wide variety of world rhythms and musical styles of Jazz, Funk, Latin, Soul, Raga, and African drumming.
Rhythm is everywhere: the ticking of a clock, the pulse of a train, the beating of a drum. Since the dawn of time, mankind has been communicating, speaking and expressing through the language of rhythm. Join TAP as we take you on a percussive journey, hitting, thwapping, slapping and stamping the floor. This is TAP as you’ve never seen it before… Three tap dancers, a band, and an aeon of musical possibility awaits.
