Tap 24.7 presents TapSide Story (Mesa)
2022-05-29 12:00 - 18:00 (America/Phoenix) | Mesa Community College Performing Arts Center, 1520 S Longmore, Mesa, AZ, United States
Tap 24.7 presents TapSide Story
Sunday, May 29th, 12 & 4 pm
Mesa Community College Performing Arts Center, 1520 S Longmore, Mesa
Tap 24.7 has created another original all-tap show featuring some of the most talented tap dancers of all ages from across the country. This story was inspired by tap dancers and how they interpret rhythms — by counting or scatting.
We are transported to a town called TapSide where two gangs of rhythm — THE COUNTS and THE SCATS — both feel like their way of interpreting tap steps is the right way. An opportunity to be in a new tap show has presented itself but the Counts and the Scats find themselves in a position where they must work together. Foes becoming friends. Collaborations that seemed absurd before are forming. How can that be? Scats were scats and counts were counts. But — can they help one another? Can they find that love, that common ground that they share; and realize that their true passion, despite their differences, is the same?
Come and find out! Tickets $25-35 + service fee.
