To Preserve and Promote the Art of Tap Dance
Tap That Brass is currently fundraising to complete the feature length documentary Beyond A Shuffle
Beyond A Shuffle is a character-driven look at the history and future of Tap Dance. This feature length documentary is centered around Chicago tap dancer Bril Barrett and his company M.A.D.D. (Making A Difference Dancing) Rhythms, while weaving through the early history and the current state of the art form.
We learn about all of the above through interviews with world renowned tap dancers, historians, and friends and family of M.A.D.D. Rhythms.
Supporting Tap Education
TTB offers a range of educational opportunities, always with a focus on musicality. Programs can be tailored to suit a broad range of levels are available in several formats (even virtual!) to meet educational goals and varying curriculum.
Preserving Tap History
We must always respect the history of the art form. Tap history is Black history.
“New Orleans was the inspiration for Tap That Brass. I was intensely drawn to brass bands and always felt like there was room for tap within that setting.”
