The Bang Group and Guests---Tap for Today

The Bang Group, whose Nut/Cracked, an uproarious and loving version of The Nutcracker has become a Dance Hall tradition since 2016, brings a program of innovative, fabulous tap dances for the 21st century showing new sides to this venerable art form that are very much contemporary.   Featuring artists from New York City and New England the concert includes Xana DuMe the delovely drag tap artist also known as Felipe Galganni from Brazil and now based in NYC, Alexis Robbins a young tap innovator living and working in New Haven, The Bang Group, which brings David Parker's hilarious and ingenious Velcro/tap duet for two men in Plaid Velcro suits who hoof and stick to each other gleefully and our own Drika Overton, beloved Founding Director of The Dance Hall whose soulful piece Afro Blue will be danced by The Bang Group.  The program includes The Bang Group's dizzying Settling Scores and 12x4 two works which conjure scores by Morton Feldman and Steve Reich in adventurous and satisfying ways.  You've never seen tap like this before: equal parts music, dance and ingenuity.
