Introducing: Tap World
There are countless dance documentaries out there, covering everything from Elizabeth Streb’s daredevilry to Justin Peck’s work as a ballet choreographer to the global hip-hop community. We’re lucky that there are so many filmmakers who want to capture dance—and so many dancers who take up the camera themselves!
Now, we can add another amazing film to the list: Tap World. The documentary features interviews with tap masters like Chloe Arnold (who, along with her sister Maude, is the producer. #unstoppable) and Michelle Dorrance, but it also has a special twist. In preparation, the producers asked people all over the world to share why tap is important to them—and some of their personal stories were included in the film! What an amazing way to show how tap, which is an American dance form, has become a global phenomenon. And to remind us that all dancers are connected through rhythm and music.
The film will be released in NYC on July 10, and will be rolled out nation-wide after that. Click here for the deets and watch the trailer below!
