About this grant
This grant will provide partial support for Tapology, Inc.’s Youth Outreach programs. Tap dance is an enduring American art form that increases physical activity and enhances cognitive development for participants. The grantee partners with local schools and community centers to introduce area youth to tap dance and offer regular classes for all ability levels. Each year, the grantee’s outreach programming culminates into a 4-day festival that exposes local students to tap dancing’s art and history. Professional artists will continue providing instruction for beginners, as well as more advanced workshops for experienced young dancers.
