2021 marks the 10th Australian Tap Dance Festival (ATDF) - Tap is alive & strong!
The Australian Tap Dance Festival (ATDF) is Australasia’s largest and most recognised Tap Dance Festival celebrating its 10th year with a tour of Festival Experiences throughout Australia & New Zealand.
The Brisbane Festival Experience is happening on Saturday 21 & Sunday 22 August at Mad Dance House.
Festival experiences are tasters of what is possible through tap dance with world-class faculty conducting jam-packed masterclasses across all levels and ages. “I can honestly say I would not be the tap dancer I am today without the ATDF and the experiences it brings to the tap community. I have made life-long friends and continue to improve my vocabulary and skills with every passing year. It’s an opportunity not to be missed!”, exclaims a regular festival participant.
As previous years, participants and audiences will see things they’ve never thought possible with tap, there is a richness & versatility to the art form that many have yet to discover. “This is what excites us about presenting these opportunities to invite more people into the community,” shares Festival Producer, Ella Lehaf, “there are no limitations to who can take part and this is one of the most fulfilling aspects of tap dance – seeing people of all ages, backgrounds and ability find pure joy in the sound and movement.”
We are delighted to announce the incredible line-up for Brisbane: Winston Morrison (ATDF Artistic Director), Christine Denny (TapatakOz), Ben Mayne (Dein Perry’s Steel City), Nathaniel Hancock (Tap Dogs), Rob Emblen (Hot Shoe Shuffle), Jesse Rasmussen (The Tap Pack) and Emma Wickham (Sarah Reich Tap Music Project).
