About: This tap number was choreographed and rehearsed over the course of four weeks. It is a shining example of how the Performing Arts Workshop's programs address the needs of dancers at every level, absolute beginner through advanced. We've had such a great time working towards our first performance and look forward to working on new choreography, and participating in more events like this one!
