Photo Coverage: 'Tap Dogs' Performs Media Call in Sydney

The Australian dance sensation 'Tap Dogs' became an instant hit of the Sydney Festival where it had its world premiere in January 1995. The show then caused a sensation at the Edinburgh Festival later that year. 'Tap Dogs' went on the play to packed houses at Sadler's Wells in London; return tours of Australia; a West End engagement, for which Dein won a second consecutive Olivier Award in 1996 for his choreography; and an off Broadway, New York season in 1997. So far the company has won 11 International Awards including a Pegasus Award at the Spoleto Festival in Italy and an Obie in New York. They returned home in 2000 to take part in the opening ceremony of the Sydney Olympics.
