The American Tap Dance Foundation: "Thelonious"

Thelonious Monk and Tap Dancers in Exuberant "Tap City: Thelonious"

Savion Glover, Gregory Hines, Cab Calloway have all stopped a show with their dazzling, intricate tap dancing. A true American dance style, tap can be funky and graceful and completely improvisational at the same time - - just like another all-American great, jazz pianist Thelonious Monk. At the intimate The Duke on 42nd Street, choreographer Sarah Petronio's "Tap City: Thelonious" pairs the music of Thelonious Monk with tap dancing for a rousing crowd-pleaser that will have you signing up for tap classes.
