Education
Programs

Currently, the ATDF is not offering on-going classes or workshops as we restructure our programs. We have also down sized by closing the American Tap Dance Center as of August.

The good news is that another organization headed by ATDF Youth Program Director Susan Hebach, is taking on the lease and offering simular youth and adult programming in September.

Artists in Residence

ATDF's Artist in Residence Program was introduced in 2003 and was administered at the American Tap Dance Center until June of 2024. It supported emerging, mid-career and master professional tap dancers recognized for their unique vision and personal style and is dedicated to nurturing a creative environment for artists to connect, explore and share their talent with other artists, students and the general public.
