A little history…

As the director and founder of the Phoenix Tap Festival, Jenefer Miller welcomes you to her humble event and hopes you enjoy every minute of your experience!Jen has been obsessed with tap dance since she was 9 years old, has been attending tap festivals since the early ’90s, and was on faculty for the first time at the old Detroit Tap Festival back in 1995. Since then, Jen has traveled the world in her tap shoes performing and teaching!The Phoenix Tap Festival was born in 2013 when she started the event called Just West of Broadway, a performing arts intensive weekend. Each year, they would have an entire day of tap and eventually, in 2018, they expanded to a full festival! Should you have any questions as you are registering or planning your trip to PTF, please do not hesitate to reach out to her so she can answer questions! Whether you are an AZ native or from around the world, it is her pleasure to bring this event to the Phoenix Community!

Your commitment to the series is a large part of the experience.
SRT reveals the natural grace in every human being and taps into transforming states of consciousness which awakens the Dance within and guides us in the practice of letting go; letting go of stress, letting go of unnecessary holding in our body, letting go of preconceptions about what is supposed to happen, letting go of fear of awkwardness, letting go of the belief that we somehow don’t have the “right body”.
Tactile exercises are used to give the imagery immediate physical effect in the movements of participants.
Two class sessions will be offered on Friday evenings from 4:30-6pm and Saturday mornings from 10-11:30am at the sYnapse at Studio Y. Session 1: January 10-February 1. Session 2: February 7-28. $120 per session or $220 for all 8 weeks.

ODC/Dance (Scottsdale)
2025-01-18 20:00 - 21:00 | Scottsdale Center for the Performing Arts, 7380 E Second St, Scottsdale, 85251, United States
Founded in 1971 by Artistic Director Brenda Way, who trained under the legendary George Balanchine, ODC (Oberlin Dance Collective—named after Oberlin College in Ohio) loaded up a yellow school bus and relocated to San Francisco in 1976. Her goal was to ground the company in a dynamic, pluralistic urban setting. ODC was one of the first American companies to return, after a decade of pedestrian exploration, to virtuosic technique in contemporary dance and to commit major resources to interdisciplinary collaboration and musical commissions for the repertory.
ODC/Dance Company consists of ten world-class dancers and performs its imaginative repertory for more than 50,000 people annually. In addition to two annual home seasons in San Francisco, recent highlights include appearances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival in New York, MODAFE Festival in Seoul Korea, Zellerbach Hall in Berkeley, and past standing-room-only engagements in Europe, Russia, and Asia. Way’s work was selected by Brooklyn Academy of Music for the Inaugural Dancemotion Tour in 2010.
The company has been widely recognized for its rigorous technique and for its numerous groundbreaking collaborations with composers Marcelo Zarvos, Bobby McFerrin, Zoë Keating, Zap Mama, Pamela Z, and Paul Dresher; writer/singer Rinde Eckert; actors Bill Irwin, Geoff Hoyle and Robin Williams; visual artists Andy Goldsworthy, Wayne Thiebaud, Jim Campbell, and Eleanor Coppola; and welder/bike designer Max Chen.
