We've Found a Home!

The new AMERICAN TAP DANCE CENTER is home to the administrative offices of the American Tap Dance Foundation and is located on Christopher Street between Greenwich and Washington Streets. The center houses two studios for all ATDF year-round tap classes, workshops and intensives and will also be available to individuals and ensembles for rehearsals.

The building was built originally as the Federal Archives and was completed in 1899. It is now a historic landmark.
