Percussion Discussion

“A mixtape serves as the playlist preserving special memories from a moment in our lives.  From roadtrips to romances, these collections of songs create a backdrop of emotions, defining key moments with those we love. Connect with us as we share our mixtape with you.”

Capitol Tap, District Tap, and Monumental Tap are cultivating tap’s next generation of musicians, dancers, technicians, historians, improvisors, performers, and educators of all ages.  With a repertoire including historical works from Bojangles, Eddie Brown, and Buster Brown to contemporary works from Michelle Dorrance, Caleb Teicher, and Heather Cornell, they’ve collaborated with a 50-piece orchestra in an evening-length program, garnered two award nominations their first season, and were chosen by Capital One Small Business for a marketing campaign with an online ad and multi-week print inserts in The Washington Post.  They’ve been co-presented by Dance Place in Washington, DC with three evening-length productions (2017, 2018, 2019).  Ensemble members have been awarded merit-based scholarships, booked for professional gigs and tours, and selected for the prestigious School at Jacob’s Pillow for tap dance.  Directors Lisa Swenton-Eppard and Baakari Wilder.  www.capitoltap.com
