Program

Join the decade’s most celebrated tap dance company Dorrance Dance this holiday season for an ELECTRIC offering of tap dance and live music!

This brand new program features the DC/Philadelphia premiere of the “glorious” Basses Loaded performed by four bassists and four tap dancers (with choreography for all); the Bessie Award-winning Three to One, danced to contemporary artists Aphex Twin and Thom Yorke of Radiohead; and Dorrance’s most critically acclaimed SOUNDspace, celebrating the very thing that makes tap dance so special - that it is, at once, movement and music.

The program closes with a full dose of swingin’ holiday cheer, featuring Ella Fitzgerald’s timeless holiday songbook sung by spell-binding resident Dorrance Dance vocalist Aaron Marcellus and danced by the full company!

 

*As of Oct. 6, Dorrance Dance will now be bringing a new program of mixed repertory instead of The Nutcracker Suite.
