We are thrilled to announce the return of our revamped Future of Tap – Presented by CAPEZIO as part of the 2025 Australian Tap Dance Festival!
Designed to cultivate a more authentic tap dance experience, Future of Tap provides a platform for dancers to showcase their artistry and passion.
Categories
This year, we are excited to offer two entry categories
● Self-Choreographed Performance
● Improvised Performance
Self-Choreographed Performance
Performers will be critiqued on their ability to craft a piece that showcases musical expression through tap dance. We want to see your unique artistic voice shine through your choreographic choices, with your music selection thoughtfully reflecting your intentions. This is your opportunity to create and perform a piece that truly represents your style, creativity, and connection to rhythm.
Improvised Performance
Closer to the performance, we will provide a selection of Jazz Standards for performers to choose from. Dancers will be evaluated on their ability to craft a performance in the moment—demonstrating their musicality, adaptability, and ability to both follow the structure and enhance the nuances of their chosen piece. This is a chance to showcase your improvisational skills and deepen your connection to the music through tap!
Age & Conditions
There are no age or skill level restrictions—Future of Tap – Presented by CAPEZIO is open to all dancers!
Our goal is to provide a platform for performers to showcase their tap skills in a supportive, non-competitive environment.This is an opportunity to share your artistry, connect with the music, and celebrate the essence of tap dance!
The only requirement to participate is booking a minimum of one masterclass at the festival. This ensures you get the most out of your experience by learning, growing, and immersing yourself in the festival alongside fellow dancers.
