No Maps on My Taps
This spirited film offers unique insight into jazz tap dancing as an indigenous art form. The spirit of tap in its heyday, shown in rare photographs and Hollywood film clips of the 1930s provides a backdrop for intimate portraits of three surviving "hoofers." Sandman Sims, Chuck Green and Bunny Briggs tell the story of tap as an expression of black heritage and culture. For all dance afficionados, NO MAPS ON MY TAPS is an indispensable historical record of this distinctly American art form.
The evening will also feature a demonstration by tap dancer Lola Strong. Lola is a strong and vibrant addition to the dance world. She made her way to NYC to train as a professional tap dancer under the mentorship of Derick K. Grant, Lynn Schwab, Chloe Arnold, and Jared Grimes, just to name a few. Dolores has performed in venues such as New York's prestigious City Center, The Public, The Duke, Lambs Theater, Symphony Space and Thalia Theater. She is currently a member of Chloe Arnold's tap company Apartment 33.
