A note from the Artistic Director

Hi everyone,
Well, what can I say but better late than never! Not much to report except there ARE a number of
National Tap Dance Day Events and numerous other classes and activities going on and coming up and I'm planning on sharing them as I hear about them.
See the list of Related Rhythms below.
Please note: I'm having Website issues at the moment forcing me to create a whole NEW one. Needless to say, you might notice old information, but I can't edit the site anymore. Please read the email blasts that I'm sending out every couple of weeks with schedule and program updates.
Also note: We DO have a few events that have already been created or re-scheduled, so please save the dates now and you can expect details to unfold soon.
Meanwhile, keep safe, keep healthy and in the spirit of tap dance....keep time please.
Tony Waag
Artistic Director

Each night,
Anthony Morigerato
is performing a live, one take, 40-55 minute video dance concert from his house in Albany, NY. The concert, “flood (redux)” has had 12 previous episodes/performances and this weekend will include episodes 13-16. Any past ticket purchase is still valid for any performance. You don’t have to watch the performance live, any ticket purchase will get you the links to all of the performances and you can watch at anytime. This weekends concerts will feature musical and photography collaborations from Andrew Atkinson, Toru Dodo, Michael O’Brien, Jean Caze, and Nick Serian. The set list changes each night for a different performance.

Our theme Dance Without Borders underscores our commitment to celebrate diversity, cultural equity and inclusion. Dance Without Borders emphasizes that dance transcends borders—whether that be defined by the age or capabilities of our bodies, politics, race, creed, gender, income or country–None of that is needed for the artistry and passion found in dance.
We will celebrate Dance Without Borders by coming together Saturday May 16th, 2020 in the city’s largest dance event to showcase over 100 unique styles of dance.
