The ATDF New Tap Choreography Showcase provides an opportunity for seasoned professionals and up-and-coming choreographers and soloists to develop and perform new tap works. The in-studio informal showcase provides a relaxed setting for dancers to share their works with fellow tap students, professionals, and invited friends. Performance works are selected by video audition.
New Tap Choreography provides a valuable first-step for choreographers and soloists as they move their works out of the studio and onto the professional stage. Works performed at the New Tap Choreography Showcase will also be considered for inclusion in ATDF July Festival performances of “Tap Future” and “Tap It Out,” or future ATDF concerts.
