Jaye will lead tap workshops as part of the Philly Tap Challenge ON FIRE! (PTC). PTC was created to honor Philadelphia's role as an historical site for street dance rhythms from the 1930s to 80s and the African American artists whose contributions made tap and street dance synonymous with the city. These workshops will share this vital part of North American dance, educate students about the African American roots of tap and street dance, and resist marginalization of these dance forms while encouraging a broader audience to reclaim this cultural tradition.
