Tapped In

Uncovering cultural identity through tap’s layered lineage and creative collaboration.

Pones presents a dynamic tap dance journey tracing the form’s rich history and evolution. Blending African, vaudeville, Broadway, and contemporary styles, and featuring live jazz call-and-response alongside regional choreographers, this premiere celebrates creativity, resistance, and cultural convergence, spotlighting lesser-known stories through collaborative performance.
