WABASH - Ten of the nation's most talented young tap dancers under the age of 21 will take to the Ford Theater stage when TAP KIDS comes to Wabash.
Presented by the Wabash Valley Music Association, the performance will take place Sunday at 3 p.m.
Since its debut at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in 2002, TAP KIDS has enjoyed tremendous success across the country and abroad, thrilling audiences of all ages with their talent. The show has since been featured in a gala for the Queen of Holland, at the Royal Theatre Carre in Amsterdam, and in Europe for a three-week tour of the Netherlands. They also have traveled twice to Mexico, most recently to headline four Mexican cities at the Tamaulipas International Festival.
In a series of musical vignettes TAP KIDS tells the story of a group of high-school kids facing challenges both mundane and momentous as they prepare for the big school dance and graduation at the end of their senior year. With an original score and choreography, TAP KIDS takes this traditional dance form to new heights in an electrifying performance that is hip, contemporary and uplifting.
A master class will take place in the Honeywell Center rink at noon, featuring the TAP KIDS cast. Tickets for the class are $5 for ticket holders and $10 for non-ticket holders.
