The Pulse Faculty

The Pulse Faculty

Upon first entering the convention center I knew I was in the right place. Dancers EVERYWHERE..... mothers, teachers, students, dance squads, people with headsets directing traffic. Oh yes, I had made it to one of the biggest dance events of the New Year.

2,030 students registered, the largest crowd of the tour, but it was like homecoming for the Pulse, since New Jersey was where it all started. Read more about my experience at the event. A breakdown of the classes, some fun pics and "the dish" after the jump

Pillow Talk (Jacob's Pillow, that is)

danceadvantage | Jul 23, 2008 | there are 2 comments 2




My little family of three just returned from our summer vacation. Aside from a short trip to the Big Apple in 2006, my husband and I have not indulged in a true holiday for several years now, instead spending time off visiting with family.  Now that we have an infant son, vacations come with additional challenges (and rewards), so for our first attempt we chose somewhat familiar territory and a family-friendly destination - Massachusetts.

Due to the success of last year's festival, the Beantown Tapfest returns for a second year, expanding to a week-long schedule of classes and tripling the number of faculty.

Unlike a jazz or film festival, a tap festival's main ingredient is instruction, continuing the long-standing tradition of handing tap dance down from one generation to the next. And since tap is a theatrical art, you can't have a festival without a show.

The Beantown Tapfest sold out last year's show, delivering what is unique to tap: the performer as both dancer and musician, where the exciting rhythmic complexity of tap is seen and heard. This year, six tap soloists, two tap companies and three jazz musicians make up the cast of On Tap!, the festival's annual review.
