TAPATAPA
Another partnership in Nairobi… Tapatapa brings Tap dance to underprivileged children.
DFW finances the studio where the classes take place.
If we now have the project – and looking for funding – to travel there with Steven McRae, Principal Dancer of the Royal Ballet who started as a Tap dancer, we first collected shoes and sent them to Nairobi so the children can work. This, of course, didn’t go without problems to solve…
Thanks a thousand to Marieke van der Ven for bringing the shoes to destination, Isabella Sormani Di Missaglia and M Alessandra Vigano & Fraser McBlane for the indispensable suitcases , to all the mothers who gave their children shoes beautifully packed and almost new, to Capezio Covent Garden for the amazing box full of gorgeous new shoes and of course to Steven McRae for having supported this initiative and helped reach you all so it became reality.
All unused tap-shoes are still welcome to give to many more the joy of creating music with their body
