STEPOLOGY, a San Francisco-based nonprofit corporation, presents the 2007 Bay Area Tap Festival. The Festival, now in its fifth year, celebrates the uniquely American art form of tap dance, and features Festival artists in a week of instructional workshop classes and a free panel discussion hosted by San Francisco Dance Center. The Festival culminates with the Bay Area Rhythm Exchange – a production which features Festival artists in a concert performance with live musical accompaniment at San Francisco’s historic Herbst Theatre. A diverse, multi-generational roster of today’s tap stars from Broadway, film, and the concert stage returns for the annual concert performance, which has been featured in the San Francisco Chronicle’s Top Ten Dance Performances of the Year for both 2005 and 2006. The cast includes Channing Cook-Holmes (Riverdance, Gangs of New York, Bojangles), Festival Director John Kloss (Tap Heat), Deborah Mitchell (The Cotton Club, Black and Blue), Dormeshia Sumbry-Edwards (Bring in ‘da Noise, Bring in ‘da Funk; Bamboozled), Sam Weber (Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood), and more!
