🌟 TONY WAAG🌟
Tony will be back and he will be hosting the TDFUK Slumber Viewing Party LIVE from NYC. Tony has a wealth of knowledge and a tonne of archive footage at his disposal that he loves to share via his platform Tony’s Tap TV.
Tony Waag (tap dancer, director, producer, choreographer, teacher & speaker) founded the American Tap Dance Foundation (formerly known as the American Tap Dance Orchestra) in 1986, along with his mentor Brenda Bufalino and the late Charles “Honi” Coles. The ATDF’s mission is to establish and legitimize Tap Dance as a vital component of American Dance through creation, presentation, education, and preservation.
Join Tony TONIGHT, Saturday evening, from 7-9pm GMT as we watch, listen and learn and he takes us on a (no doubt amusing) trip down Tap Dance history lane.

🎉 OPEN SPACE SESSIONS 🎉 We're very excited

🎉 OPEN SPACE SESSIONS 🎉
We're very excited to announce our open space line up. These classes are at 5 pm and 6 pm on WEDNESDAY 17th FEBRUARY. We have decided to make the sessions FREE for EVERYONE, even if you haven't registered for TDFUK 2021!
Read more about what you can expect from each session below:
🎉 SOPHIE LEAKE: ACCENTS, 5PM
After a warm up you'll learn some exercises that work on articulating accents, which you can take away with you and practice to build your technique. Then we'll finish with a fun combo to music that has a focus on- you guessed it- accents! After attending this session, you should have a greater awareness of accents and feel more comfortable executing them in choreography or improvisation.
🎉 REBECCA CROOKES: STYLE IN TAP HEELS, 5PM
In this open level class, we will work on exercises and a short piece of choreography to develop the style and movement of the performance. We will show that even the simplest of steps can be made to look advanced. This class can be done without heels if you don’t have any or in other heeled shoes that aren’t tap shoes.
🎉 JASMINE ZIA: CHOREOGRAPHY, 6PM
In this fun Choreography session Jasmine will take you through a warm-up, short combo and cool down to today's chart hits.
🎉 REBECCA KEEN: QUEEN CHOREOGRAPHY, 6PM
To learn complex, fun and exciting choreography that consists of the British & American style tap with a little hint of Irish in there too, to a upbeat queen remix of "Another one bites the dust". This piece I created was award winning choreography at the Dance World Cup in 2019 gaining incredible feedback from top tap professionals for its intricate choreography and innovative style.
🎉 REBECCA HASTINGS: MUSICAL THEATRE CHOREOGRAPHY (JELLY'S LAST JAM), 6PM
This session will be inspired by the high engery and dynamic style of The Nicholas Brothers and the music of jazz composer Jelly Roll Morton. I would like anyone attending the session to learn about these great people (if they don't already know who they are!), challenge themselves to inform their musicality by using everything the music gives us and share the joy of tap and this great music!

🌟 MICHÈLE DREES 🌟 Established and Renowned

🌟 MICHÈLE DREES 🌟
Established and Renowned Professional Drummer @micheledrees will be joining us at TDFUK for the first time this year. We are excited for Michèle to share nuggets of wisdom in the Open Level Musicality for Tap Dancers Class taking place on Sunday 21st February 5.30pm – 6.15pm.
Michèle will be leading participants through a series of exercises and concepts that will no doubt support them when performing with LIVE musicians.
🌟 Book now at tapdancefestival.uk - it's not too late to get involved! 🌟
Michèle Drees is an established professional drummer for over 35 years.Michèle’s trio has played for the London Tap Jam since 2009. Having learnt tap dance alongside her drumming, she has a deep love and respect for this craft.

She has performed at Ronnie Scott’s, the Elgar Room, Purcell Room, in Brazil at Chorando Sem Parar Festival and many more.
