ALL STAR CONCERT PROGRAM
FRIDAY, AUG 29 | 8:00PM
WELCOME!
Dear DC Tap Fest Community,
WOW! 16 years of Tapping into Inspiration! We made it – we are so proud, so joyful, so grateful, and so excited! We are incredibly thankful for the support, love, and joy that the DC Tap Fest has brought to our entire community over these past 16 years. This journey would not have been possible without your continued support. Thank you for showing up – our community has made the DC Tap Fest what it is, and we couldn't do it without you.
Over the past 16 years, we have hosted thousands of dancers and nearly ten thousand audience members like you from over 55 countries and every single state. Our programming, including robust scholarship and internship programs, has helped jumpstart the careers of so many young people – tap dancers, artists, performers, entrepreneurs, writers, producers, filmmakers, and more! We have offered countless master dance classes, filmmaking workshops, panel discussions, dance battles, jam sessions, and courses in financial literacy, self-esteem, entrepreneurship, and more. Our faculty has included the top tap dancers in the world – stars of Broadway and film, Emmy nominees and awardees, Film/TV/Theatre choreographers, artists who have toured every corner of the world, and young gifted dancers that span generations (who started themselves as students!). In recent years, we even held festivals virtually, reaching over 3,500 dancers from all 50 states and over 50 countries. We are honored that people choose to celebrate the art form of tap dance with us.
This year, we are especially thrilled to honor the incredible Michelle Dorrance. Michelle's contributions to the world of tap dance have been nothing short of extraordinary. Her creativity, passion, and dedication have inspired so many, and it is our privilege to recognize her impact on the art form and the community.
The Chloé and Maud Foundation's mission is to inspire and unite tap dancers and dance lovers from around the world, and together, heighten the global respect and appreciation for this rich American art form. We welcome all people, regardless of economic status, age, gender, artistic or cultural background. The DC Tap Fest is a haven for the creative and artistic process, growth, and achievement, building the next generation of artists, entrepreneurs, and world changers. It is our responsibility and heartfelt wish to pay homage to those who have paved the way for us, and to pass those same blessings on. Infinite thanks to everyone who continues to support and encourage us along the way. We truly appreciate you – enjoy the show, and we look forward to another 16 years of dancing with you here in DC!
XOXO
Chloé & Maud
