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. (Circa late 1950s-1960's with the
advent of rock and roll) The music halls and other concert venues
started to close so the places where tap dancers worked were limited.
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. This wonderful musical showcases the grace and upbeat nature of tap and is sure to excite our young performers. If your child is interested in learning Tap, Ballet Petite is offering a variety of Tap classes and camps this Summer and Fall. Registration is now open, click here.
