Join the Hot Foot Honeys, Memphis' only professional tap dance company, for Lights/Camera/TAP!, their 7th annual show. Lights/Camera/TAP! comments on the intimate relationship of tap dance and film, and features choreography that ranges from Broadway-style showstoppers to pieces that integrate tap, contemporary dance, and spoken word. Each of the numbers in Lights/Camera/TAP! are inspired by an aspect of film, including: soundtracks, plots, characters, specific scenes, and even morals of stories taught through film.


The show also features choreography set on the company by world-renowned tap dancer Charles Renato (American Tap Dance Foundation, Broadway Dance Center, Steps on Broadway) and solo work by Memphis native Jessica Tenbusch, now a professional tap dancer with Chicago Human Rhythm Project and Tapman Productions. The closing piece of Lights/Camera/TAP! is a collaboration between the Hot Foot Honeys and DanceVersify Academy, Memphis' Indian dance school, and fuses tap dance with Kathak, known for its storytelling through facial expressions, hand movements, and rhythmic footwork.
