Talk about happy feet! A blend of Irish step dancing, English clogging and African-American dance styles, tap dancing grew from humble immigrant origins to a staple of Broadway reviews and Hollywood musicals. With rapid-fire footwork, head-spinning pivot turns and flashy improvised moves, Tip Tap Two shows off the diverse styles of famous tap pioneers Bill “Bojangles” Robinson and the Nicholas Brothers and the innovations of contemporary masters like Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. Part history lesson and pure joy, students will have a great time learning how to make music with their feet.
This program is avaialable as a duo performance or a solo performance.
Tip Tap Two
Tip Tap Two consists of two members who have bonded through a shared love of tap dancing.
Terrence "Taps" began teaching at the McClendon School of Dance in 2000 when he had only been tap dancing for three years. There he met Tre McClendon who was already displaying a love and appreciation for tap dancing!
For years these two dancers would devote extra time after class to developing their improvisational skills and perfecting tap technique. Both have studied with some of the greatest tap dancers around, including the legendary Savion Glover.
In every case, audiences have been thrilled by some of the most phenomenal tap dancing seen in Atlanta in years!
