All are wel­come to the series of inter­ac­tive Per­cus­sion Dance Work­shops. We will be using rhyth­mic steps, clap­ping, and an occa­sion­al shout out to explore sounds and cre­ate new dances or re-invent old ones. No pre­vi­ous expe­ri­ence required. No tap shoes required. Stop by and make some noise!

Work­shop lead­ers Megan Haungs and Toes Tira­noff com­bine ele­ments of jazz tap per­cus­sion, swing dance, vaude­ville, com­e­dy, and pup­pets in their shows. They have per­formed at LaMa­Ma E.T.C., Town Hall, NYU, Lin­coln Center’s Dam­rosch Park, Dixon Place and Bryant Park’s Piano in the Park.

Music selec­tions will com­mem­o­rate the late Pharoah Sanders.
