Toffan Rhythm Projects presents the TORONTO INTERNATIONAL TAP DANCE FESTIVAL

International headlining acts Heather Cornell and Ted Louis Levy represent opposite ends of tap's spectrum; one uses the sounds of their tap shoes striking the floor as percussion, the other performs accompanied by music in its full force.
