Tap dancers throughout the U.S. and around the world celebrate tap dance as an American art form each year on Bill “Bojangles” Robinson’s birthday (May 25th). Join The Lady Hoofers Tap Ensemble at Cherry Street Pier in Philadelphia on Thursday, May 22 to celebrate with an open tap jam! Tap dancers of all ages are invited to bring their shoes to improvise, learn about the holiday’s namesake with a reading of the children’s book “Rap a Tap Tap,” and join in for the Shim Sham Shimmy, tap dance’s (inter)national anthem!
This event is free to participate or observe, but guests are encouraged to make a donation.
