NOW YOU CAN TAP DANCE IN BRAZILIAN CARNAVAL 2009...
In 2008, Christiane Matallo made history when she spearheaded the
effort to include a group of tap dancers from all over Brazil (and me
the "Americana") in the samba school Mocidade Alegre... for the first
time ever, a group of tap dancers were included not only as a featured
choreographed segment, but also as part of the percussion for the
Brazilian Carnaval Celebration in Sao Paulo, Brazil. We were flooded
with news coverage and interest stories and it was by far one of the
most exciting venues in which we performed in front of some of the
largest audiences in the world!
Back by popular demand, we are trying to make it bigger than ever by
expanding to make this an international representation of tap dancers
worldwide...Want to Tap Dance in one of the most popular parties on
earth in February of 2009? Then send us your contact information with
interest to be included for the group that will be tap dancing in Sao
Paulo for Carnival in Sao Paulo, Brazil!

"This was a joyous event. Once it started, it moved wondrously. You could tell by the smiles on the faces with eyes glued to the stage that everyone was loving the show, full of dancers and musicians."
"You got to be there to feel it!! This time I did girls nite out, ages 3 - 70, and everyone couldn't stop talking about it. Will be there to support Broadway Underground again, and again."
