TapSide Story

Tap 24.7 has created another all original tap show featuring some of the most talented tap dancers of all ages from across the country. This story was inspired by two of the primary methods used by tap dancers to interpret rhythms, counting and scatting.
We are transported to the town of TapSide where two much different gangs of rhythm, THE COUNTS and THE SCATS each feel like their way of interpreting tap steps is the correct way. When an opportunity to perform in a new tap show presents itself, the Counts and the Scats find themselves in a position where they must figure out how to work together. Foes becoming friends. Collaborations that once seemed absurd are suddenly working. How can that be? Scats were scats and counts were countsbut, will they be able to help one another in some way? Will they discover that their common passion and love of tap, despite their differences, is the same?
