June is just around the corner! |
And there are numerous events and activities that come into "play" here.
So straight off, we are happy to offer some OUTDOOR Master Classes for adults on Saturday, June 5th. (see below)
And, on June 17, our annual Youth Program Year-End Concert will be taking place on the Circle Line!
This is a very complicated event, but boy are we excited to FINALLY present our kids and teens and some very special guests after a long hiatus from producing ANY live events.
Then don't forget that registration for Tap City, the annual New York City Tap Festival has been launched (July 5-10, 2021) See below for detailed information on classes and events.
Directly following that will be our annual Tap Teacher Training Program (July 12-18, 2021). Also virtual. Not too late to register for this either. See below!
Meanwhile, we are busy planning our summer and fall class schedules so check out our website every so often if you can for updates.
