2010 JUBA! Award winners
Each year, CHRP honors esteemed members and supporters of the tap community with its annual JUBA! Awards. For its 20th anniversary season, CHRP’s board of directors has selected four awardees who have been important to the organization’s history as well as to the overall advancement of American tap as an art form: Gene Medler, founder and director of the highly acclaimed North Carolina Youth Tap Ensemble; Sam Weber, internationally respected performer, master teacher and choreographer; Dianne “Lady Di” Walker, the “Ella Fitzgerald” of tap and a pioneer in the art form’s resurgence; and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (MCA), which has contributed to the field through its longtime presentation and sponsorship of tap performance and education programs. CHRP will honor these JUBA! Award winners during Rhythm World’s culminating performance series “JUBA! Masters of Tap and Percussive Dance” August 4, 5 and 7 at MCA Stage.
