Gearing up for travel…
On Thursday 1st July I fly to the Big Apple for a month of all things tap related. Although I’m not signed up for any TAP CITY classes I’ve been browsing the website and thinking about doing one of the 4-day intensives. But I’ll have to wait and see how it goes. I’ve noted down the events that are happening and plan to attend talks, films and perhaps a performance. There are so many things to do in NYC so I know I’ll have to pace myself in order to make the most of it.
The real focus of my trip to New York is to attend Heather Cornell’s 20th Anniversary NYC Rhythm Tap Intensive Workshop with live music and do research at the Lincoln Centre for the Performing Arts. With two solid weeks of “Back to our roots – Jazz” the intensive is just what I’ve been looking for. And being in New York it is also the perfect opportunity catch up with friends and relatives, and put some faces to those Facebook tap acquaintances!
