American Tap is an international documentary film sensation. Already translated to five languages since its debut as the Opening Night Film at the world oldest and most prestigious dance film festival The Dance on Camera Festival produced with the Lincoln Center Film Society. With a cast list that is practically a Who’s Who in American Tap Dance, it has been deemed a must see by The Hollywood Reporter and dance fans everywhere. |
As we dig into the heritage of American tap dancing, we discover that elements of our history which have the potential to tear us apart – the stigma of slavery and the friction caused by immigration – are the same forces which bind us together and fuel our dynamic society.
This shared experience is the cultural fire that forged the art form of tap dancing.
