Jersey Tap Fest is getting ready to welcome over 150 dancers for four days of classes, workshops and performances next month, August 11-14 at Dancer's Pointe and Bloomfield College in New Jersey. Directed and founded by Hilary-Marie, this young entrepreneur and professional tap artist will be offering over 40 classes to students from all over the world by the industry's most prominent teachers. This festival is rooted in the need to provide dancers with a comprehensive and in-depth look into the demands of what it takes to be a dynamic tap artist, while inviting them to share the stage with professionals in a culminating performance, Tap n' Time on August 13th!
This year's host of Tap n' Time is now confirmed, and we are excited to announce Joshua Johnson!
