FALL FOR DANCE FESTIVAL - Sept. 19
Ayodele Casel, Sarah Savelli & Dancers
Tap Into Peace (excerpts) NY Premiere
Choreography by Ayodele Casel & Sarah Savelli
ABOUT THIS PIECE

Tap Into Peace, co-choreographed by Sarah Savelli and Ayodele Casel, combines vibrant music with the high-powered art of tap dance and features a multicultural cast of thirteen tap dancers. The piece aims to bring importance back to the word and reestablish tap dancing as an art form that is capable of telling stories without sacrificing integrity in its execution.

 
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“ The dancers negotiate syncopated rhythms of mind-boggling complexity with unbounded exuberance. Amid the deafening steps, they take tiny leaps. As they do so, they seem to be on top of the world. It turns out that they are.” – Donald Rosenberg, The Plain Dealer

“As they've melded their distinctive takes on tap...the co-directors have come up with many dance styles to bring variety to their show.” – Donald Rosenberg, Cleveland.com
