Tap It Out

 

Saturday, July 12

12noon, 1:00pm, 2:00pm

 

Foley Square, 111 Worth Street

Tap it Out is a free outdoor public event. It is a contemporary percussion and movement "soundscape" that promotes TAP DANCE as pure music, while consciously deconstructing the basic elements that propel tap forward. Worldwide students of all ages and levels, join to create a chorus of hundreds of tapping feet.
