Sounding Time: An Introduction to Tap Dance and Jazz Culture

This program will take place in the Middle Room of the Roncesvalles United Church.

Internationally recognized and award winning Tap Dance artist, Travis Knights will share his passion of jazz culture, and its history as a language that transcends the spoken word and rhythm.

Through the lens of jazz history from the Harlem Renaissance, Travis will connect participants to themselves and each other through the language of music, movement, and rhythm. This workshop will feature live musical accompaniment. All are welcome. If you like to clap your hands, tap your toes, or create rhythm with your body, this workshop is for you. No prior experience is necessary. Comfortable clothing and footwear is encouraged.

Note: Capacity is limited. Please register to secure your spot.
