Community Tap Dance Class by Michelle Dorrance

3/6/2017

0 Comments

 
Michelle Dorrance of Dorrance Dance taught a 90 minute class with a 30 minute Q&A for advanced dance students and observers. Co‐presented by The Dance Network and UCSB Arts & Lectures.
A Bessie Award-winning troupe known for “blasting open our notions of tap,” Dorrance Dance pushes tap dance’s tradition – rhythmically, aesthetically and conceptually. Street, club and experimental dance forms awaken to the furious rhythms of America’s long-standing jazz vernacular in a new, dynamically compelling context. Founder Michelle Dorrance, a MacArthur Fellow, is considered “one of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today” (The New Yorker).
