The Philadelphia Community Tap Project is committed to maintaining zero barriers to program entry and participation. We aim to offer entirely free programming.
The PCTP is committed to building a strong tap dance community and a strong audience base in Philadelphia, where so much tap dance history was made, and continues to be made. We actively choose to present tap dance and live music in a variety of neighborhoods and venues across the city.
The PCTP is committed to training, supporting and mentoring all people in the project, such that they are inspired to create, innovate and share tap dance with others, long into the future.
In April 2017, in keeping with our mission, The Philly Clicks, a traveling youth tap ensemble, was born. The Clicks are a free and accessible opportunity open to any child, regardless of experience or financial standing. The ensemble program provides the kids with technical training, education about the historical roots of tap dance in America, and how to work with live musical accompaniment. Since April, the Clicks have performed at the Mann Music Center, Headhouse Square, and the Girard Avenue Street Festival. In less than a year, we've been raise funds to sponsor the training and performance costs for ten kids. We need your help to continue this program and offer more sponsored slots to kids from all over Philadelphia.
