Jaye Allison will produce three days of tap technique, teacher training, children's and history workshops with top internationally known artists and top talent from around Philadelphia. The emphasis will be on reclaiming and passing on the African American and Philadelphia roots of tap dance, which are at risk of dying along with those who were part of the development of the art form. Teachers will emphasize the legacy of African American tap masters who taught them to keep the art and African American cultural heritage alive.
