“Dorrance Dance is boldly revitalizing tap dance and dares to push the genre to a new level of execution, innovation, and sophistication.” – Boston Globe

Dorrance Dance explores what is most thrilling, brilliant, and beautiful about tap dancing — that it is, at once, movement and music.

Founded in 2011 by Artistic Director and 2015 MacArthur Fellow Michelle Dorrance, the award-winning tap dance company based in New York City shares the incredibly dynamic range that tap dance has to offer through performance and education.

Dorrance Dance’s goal is to engage with audiences on a musical and emotional level, and to share the complex history and powerful legacy of this American art form throughout the country and the world.

Dorrance Dance is made up of truly unique artists; dancers and musicians who are rooted in improvisation with an investment in choreographic exploration and musical composition.

“One of the most imaginative tap choreographers working today.” – The New Yorker

“...a sonic distillation of a blistering American past and its perilous present, with a transcendent strength of spirit woven through.” — The Washington Post
