Founded in 2011 by MacArthur “Genius” Award recipient Michelle Dorrance, who has appeared with STOMP, Savion Glover, Manhattan Tap, and others, Dorrance Dance honors tap dance’s uniquely beautiful history in a new and dynamically compelling context, pushing it rhythmically, aesthetically, and conceptually. The New York Times called Dorrance “a brilliant conductor [who] pushes the boundaries of tap while exposing its true nature: that it is music.”
