The North Carolina Rhythm Tap festival is returning to the Ballet School of Chapel Hill for its 10th year!
The annual festival will be held at The Ballet School of Chapel Hill on June 13th - 15th, 2008. Sponsored by the North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble with support from the Ballet School of Chapel Hill and the Orange County Arts Commission.
This year's festival will include classes, discussions, videos, a participant showcase, a tap jam and a Saturday evening performance at the ArtsCenter in Carrboro. With classes taught by Brenda Bufalino, Michelle Dorrance, Yvette Glover, Josh Hilberman, Derrick Grant, Gene Medler and Dianne Walker, the festival will provide an incredible opportunity for teachers and dancers of all ages and skill levels.
Tickets for the once in a lifetime performance, which will be held Saturday, June 14th at 7:30 pm, can be obtained by calling the ArtsCenter box office at 919.929.2787 ($15/$10 for festival participants).
If you have never attended the festival before, this is the perfect time to join us for more than just two days of fantasic training. This year's festival will surely prove to be a great time to meet dancers from around the country and an event that you will never forget.
