American Tap United States | 2017 | 90 minutes | Director: Mark Wilkinson As a quintessentially American art form, the origins of Tap Dance wind through our history from Congo Square, through Minstrelsy, the Jazz Age, World War II and into modernity. Fueled by genius and challenged by adversity, it has undergone recession and rebirth to emerge vital and relevant in the new century. Not just an dance form, Tap is a mirror through which we can examine and better understand our American cultural heritage.
