The American Tap Dance Foundation is a non-profit 501c3 organization committed to establishing and legitimizing Tap as a vital component of American dance through creation, presentation, education, and preservation.

ATDF is recognized as a local, national, and international leader in the field and continues to further three main objectives to perpetuate tap dance as a flourishing contemporary art form on a National and International level, to provide a basis for the growth of tap dance by teaching new generations through comprehensive educational programs, and to preserve the artistry of the early generations of tap masters.

On January 2, 2010, the American Tap Dance Foundation opened the doors to its current home, the American Tap Dance Center.
