Sound Check is a new project of the ATDF and is currently in development.

Sound Check brings the incredible musical feet of an eclectic cast together in a unique fusion of percussive dance through a dynamic and whimsical composition that blends international music, percussion, text, imagery, improvisation, and choreography. Conceived as a ‘state of the union’ address for the art form, Sound Check presents some of the most versatile ‘voices’ working in the field today and educates the public about the vast breadth and scope of Tap, from improvisation to new choreography, solo to group dances; classical to rhythm tap.

A Salute to the Copasetics

Co-created and directed by Brenda Bufalino and Tony Waag

An evening filled with song and dance and rarely seen film clips of the Copasetics with performances by leading hoofers in the field! A Salute to the Copasetics pays tribute to our mentors the legendary Copasetics. We honor and remember the amazing contributions and philosophies of the late Charles 'Honi' Coles, the late Charles 'Cookie' Cook, the late James 'Buster' Brown, the late Leslie 'Bubba' Gaines, the late Ernest 'Brownie' Brown and ALL of the 'masters of swing' that passed on to us their incredible love of the art of tap dancing, as well as their great traditions, swinging dances and songs, infectious laughter and humor, and a strong ethic of comradeship and mutual respect!"
