Tucson is celebrating National TAP Dance DayTen master tap dance classes, two performances, and a big band swing dance grand finale are being prepared for this year's 2nd celebration of this very special Tap Day that has been around for 20 years! May 25th is the official date and is the birthday of Bill "Bojangles" Robinson - the legendary tap dancer that often appeared with Shirley Temple and became famous for his stair tap dance. We thank our sponsors this year: Arizona Commission on the Arts, Altrusa International Inc of Tucson, Arizona Dance Coalition and DancInc. Your support is significant to us and to the community in Arizona that values and wants to preserve and celebrate a dance art form "made in the U.S.A." (There is time to add more names of individuals or organizations who would like to support this event.) |
