West Coast Tap was founded in March 2003 to serve the needs of professional tap dancers, instructors, choreographers and, most of all, anyone with a passion for tap dance.
West Coast Tap has established monthly tap jams and annual tap dance day celebrations to educate dancers and the public about tap dance. As a non-profit organization, West Coast Tap’s purpose and mission is to provide an opportunity for tap dancers of all levels to network and participate
in a collaborative environment and to promote tap dancing as an art form by educating the public through performances and instruction.

Our annual Tap Talk at the Vancouver Public Library will take place Sunday May 11 at 1 PM in the Alice McKay room. The topic, "The Art of Tap Dancing: Its History and Icons", will include a video tribute to this year's Tap Day honouree Heather Cornell as well as live performances. Admission is free and is a great way to kick off what is shaping up to be Tap Week!
We are very pleased to present Master classes with international tap sensation Heather Cornell in honour of Tap Day 2007. Through partnerships with studios across the lower mainland and a grant from the Vancouver Foundation we are able to make this day of workshops accessible in both price and location. The classes will be at about an intermediate level but will be taylored to each group of students.
The classes will be held on Saturday May 17th at:
Vancouver Tap Dance Society - 10-11:30
2775 Hastings Street East, Vancouver
Broadway Bound - 1-2:30
#105 - 2071 Kingsway Ave, Port Coquitlam
