New Yorkers for Tap

Dance/NYC celebrates the New York City Tap Festival, Tap City, July 6-July 13, 2013, and all who tap in our city

Dear New Yorker:

Today, tap artists Tony Waag and Derick K. Grant join Dance/NYC's NEW YORKERS FOR DANCE campaign, which features personal statements on why dance matters to our city.

With the release of these videos, Dance/NYC celebrates the New York City Tap Festival, Tap City, July 6-July 13, 2013, and all who tap in our city.

Tony Waag, Artistic and Executive Director of the American Tap Dance Foundation, says of the festival: it "makes a lasting statement about New York City and its dedication to this uniquely American form of art. We pay homage to tap dance by producing a festival in the city known for much of its major development."
