After reading an interesting article highlighting famed tapper Brenda Bufalino, the idea of tap being dead was discussed. Bufalin explains, "First of all, the venues dried up.

Broadway changed its style to modern and movie musicals ..."

Times have changed and tap dancing is more alive than ever!  Ballet Petite's very own Youth Performing Arts School Musical Theater Performance Company are in the birthplace of Tap -- New York City, seeing a wide array of Broadway Musicals including the classic Anything Goes.
