The Experience
Dianne Walker and an artist faculty superbly versed in traditional and
contemporary tap styles help dancers master a wide range of choreographic material requiring both solo and ensemble performance skills. Work created on the dancers, developed in collaboration with musicians and composers/arrangers, is performed for the public June 30 and July 7 as part of the free outdoor performance series.
Daily classes emphasize musicality, rhythmic structures, footwork techniques, and use of the full body. Individual coaching sessions, guest artist workshops, faculty talks, tap jams, and video viewing sessions develop dancers' distinctive artistry and share new directions influencing the field today.
Attending Festival performances, talks, exhibits, master classes, and studying in the Archives are integral to this immersion experience in dance.
For 25 advanced pre-professional and professional tap dancers with strong performance skills, age 16 and up. Click here for faculty bios. For audition and application details, click here.
