Rhythm Tap has a long tradition of bringing people together to communicate through rhythm.
Tap Rhythm Project is a not-for-profit social enterprise working
to raise the profile of rhythm tap in the UK. Our activities combine
creativity, fitness and cultural heritage ranging from regular drop in
classes to tap jams, talks, film screenings and workshops with tap
masters from all over the world. We aim to make tap dance activities
accessible to communities and create opportunities for beginners to
professionals to learn, perform, and share ideas.
Our aims and objectives are:
Community Participation
Our aim is to create opportunities
for local communities to experience rhythm tap, working to support and
build the rhythm tap community locally, nationally and internationally.
Opportunities
Tap Rhythm Project creates professional
training and performance opportunities for its members, encouraging a
new generation of rhythm tap teachers and performers.
We invite our members to get involved with running TRP and
helping to make decisions about how the project develops. So if you
have ideas and want to take on more responsibility ask us about joining
the management committee.
Increasing cultural awareness
Tap Rhythm Project aims to
increase public awareness of the rich cultural history of tap dance and
celebrate the achievements of Tap Masters past and present. We are
compiling an archive of tap dance learning resources including books,
articles, documentaries and films that we can share with members of the
public.
