Tap Dogs

Tap Dogs was started by a guy called Dein Perry, a choreographer, in 1994. It had a world premier in Sydney in January 1995. Tap Dogs has become a global phenomenon. The group has performed in 32 countries and seen by more than 11 million people, woo hoo +2.. me and Lisa.. who saw them in London this afternoon. Six male dancers, including Adam Garcia, in jeans and workboots fitted with taps combined tap dancing with an industrial background to create an action packed afternoon of entertainment. The six performers danced on a range of different surfaces such as scaffolding, industrial flooring and electronic drum pads to create a strong rhythmical piece. The two girls on drums also did a spectacular job particularly during the water scene.
This was a high energy performance with no let-up as they dancers move from the stage to raised construction girders and in one scene, one of the dancers taps upside down on the ceiling strapped in a harness. These dancers made the dancing look as easy and laid-back as the characters they were playing. It was a real adrenaline-pumping performance.
