She Resounds: The Women Who Built Tap Dance
Come along and join me for an evening celebrating the
women who built tap dance.
This show blends live performance with
storytelling and video, honouring the
pioneers who broke barriers one shuffle at a time.
We will start at the beginning of modern tap dancing
with acts like The Whitman Sisters and Jeni Le Gon.
Look at those who made their mark on the silver
screen with stars like Ann Miller and Eleanor Powell.
Ending with the wealth of contemporary tap-dancing
stars we have the pleasure of seeing live and learning
from today like Michelle Dorrance (Dorrance Dance) and
ChloƩ and Maud (Syncopated Ladies). We will take a
special look at our home grown talent, like Avalon
Rathgeb and Adele Joel (OKR dance), who you can watch
perform in England.
