The invaluable experiences from the classes, performances, special tap events and celebrations were inspired by the best parts from festivals we had experienced overseas. The results have been incredible over the last 8 years creating a tap community known by the world with many participants evolving to become high level tap dancers and leaders themselvesFrom the Festival Producer, Ella Lehaf:The art of tap dance is always evolving and still thrives across the globe since its early American roots. We strive to build awareness and offer access to the history of the art form, paying respects to those who came before that provide the platform we are fortunate to have today. And from here we also explore where the art form is heading from childhood tap lessons and adult fitness classes to social media and the world stage, tap dance continues to be rich with possibilities and new techniques which we aim to showcase at the festival.
