Welcome to WEST

Where would be without the likes of great dancers such as Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Gene Kelly and Debbie Reynolds?  Although their predecessors happened to come from an urban community of men who placed bottle caps on the bottoms of their shoes and tapped with them on boards of wood, these fine dancers of the past worked to bring Tap to the masses in movies such as “Singin’ in the Rain”, and “Roberta” or “Broadway Melody” with Fred Astaire and Eleanor Powell.  Tap is a dance form that also has a variety of style from one that is more soft-shoe to the urban funky rhythms of “Stomp!” and “Tap Dogs”.  It is a dance form of great skill and plenty of fun that challenges the dancer to use their feet and rhythms in a new way each time.
