Cafe Cedar in Parkville was the location Jan 24th for the Bellydance Coalition ranging from seasoned performers to beginners.


Tribute Production Shows Tap Vitality

About as packed a house as I've seen filled Yardley hall on the 16th of January for a tap dance performance. This is not the first full-house tap performance in the KC area in the last year or so. The crowd was enthusiastic, interested and knowledgeable. While the production looked as though it is still in developmental stages it didn't dim the audience response. In some circles tap is treated as if it were an old, even moribund art form from decades ago. But this crowd, and the recent ones showcasing tap, brought a dance audience from young to old and very energetic.
