THE FOURTH ANNUAL BEANTOWN TAPFEST
August 15-21, 2011, Registration is Open!
Boston’s week-long tribute to tap dance via education, exploration and celebration!
In 2007, after years of producing tap jams and master classes in Boston and decades of performing and teaching, Julia Boynton wanted to create a celebratory, educational, tap lovefest for the New England tap community. A place, both in time and space, to celebrate and pay tribute to the art form with which we are all - let's face it - slightly obsessed.
Just as Boston is known as the "walkable" city, it is also the tappable city. It is that place where you can tap in your comfort zone and also push yourself to new horizons. Where people both enjoy and strive. Where that intimate, welcoming atmosphere makes you feel like you are dancing among friends, even if you don't yet know anyone in the room. (Trust us, soon you will.) And as the Beantown Tapfest brings this community together, new ties will be forged and old ones strengthened.
Please join the 2011 Beantown Tapfest as we celebrate the past, present, and future of tap in the very city that has contributed so much to the local, national, and international tap scene over the years.
Classes, jams, and performances.

Jersey Tap Fest provides non-competitive opportunities of self-advancement and networking for the basic tapper, tap teacher, tap enthusiast, pre-professional and professional artist and tap master. This stimulating, demanding and rigorous program will serve diverse students with great passion for tap dance in the tri-state area, allowing them to improve their technical abilities and increase their overall knowledge of the art form.
