“A seemingly impossible marriage of tap and modern dance that came off edgy, seductive, and smart.” -- The Chicago Tribune
Under the direction of Michelle Dorrance, Bessie Award-winning Dorrance Dance with her musical collaborator Toshi Reagon, aims to honor the uniquely beautiful history of tap dance in a new and dynamically compelling context, not by stripping the form of its tradition, but by pushing it: rhythmically, aesthetically, and conceptually. Hailed by The New Yorker as “one of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today,” Dorrance Dance features some of the genre’s best tap artists including The Blues Project’s co-choreographers Derick K. Grant and Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards. Toshi Reagon has been described by Pop Matter as a one-woman celebration of all that is dynamic, progressive, and uplifting in American music.
Join The Modlin Center for the Arts for Modlin Arts After Words, a post-show question-and-answer session with Dorrance Dance.
