BAM! We All Got Rhythm

Chicago Human Rhythm Project's resident ensemble  - BAM! - performs award winning choreography as they demonstrate, explain and engage students in the evolution of American tap dance from Broadway to Bring in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk. Rooted in African and Irish cultures, American tap continues to evolve as rhythmic influences from around the world create global percussive art. NEW dances include works by: American legend - Buster Brown; Emmy Award winner and Broadway choreographer - Ted Levy; Spanish sand dancer - Guillem Alonso; Riverdance star - Martin "Tre" Dumas; BAM!'s own talented group of young, diverse dancers; and a very special participatory work by Brazil's body band - Barbatuques!
