PARIS SUMMER TAP is the unmissable event in Europe for tap dance enthusiasts. This major annual workshop, originally held in Barcelona at the Jimmy Slyde Institute studio, ( a place founded by French-New York choreographer Roxane Butterfly), has been attracting upcoming tap-artists from around the world since 2012, both amateurs and professionals. PARIS SUMMER TAP is an immersion into tap dance culture where students can consolidate their knowledge of the fundamentals of technique, as well as their understanding of the tap-history and the artistic movements that have influenced the evolution of tap dance to the present day.
This year, Brazilian choreographer Valeria Pinheiro (director of the VATA company in Fortaleza) and Guyanese dancer Tamangoh (director of URBAN TAP CENTER INTERNATIONAL in Kourou) will join Roxane for three exceptional days of immersion at the intersection of jazz and South American and Native American rhythms.
