NAME OF FILM: AMERICAN TAP (2018)
DIRECTOR(S): Mark Wilkinson
GENRE: Documentary Film
SYNOPSIS: Tap dance weaves through our history from Congo Square, minstrel shows, the Jazz Age, World War II, to today. Fueled by genius and challenged by adversity, it has undergone recession and rebirth to emerge vital and relevant in the new century. “American Tap” is a sometimes joyful, sometimes excruciating, no- holds-barred journey into the origins of tap dancing through which we rediscover what it means to be an American.
