HOOFING FOR HEROES
A Tap Dancing Tribute to America's Armed Forces
​May 26th-29th, 2016
New Orleans Center for Creative Arts

This Memorial Day weekend Theatre on Tap will present HOOFING FOR HEROES to honor the men and women of the United States Armed Forces. In a unique 44-foot tap dancing salute, 22 dancers and singers accompanied by a live jazz ensemble will present a one-of-a-kind evening of song and dance as a token of our gratitude.  The show also pays special tribute to America’s finest tap dancers who served their country in addition to being stars of stage and screen.  The performance will benefit the Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP), and both veterans and active duty military personnel are invited to attend the performance at no cost.

Gulf Coast Theatre on Tap is New Orleans' Premier Rhythm Tap Dance Company whose mission is to celebrate, promote, and preserve America’s indigenous dance form in the birthplace of jazz, and to share with the community the amazing experience that blending the two American art forms can illuminate. Emmy and Big Easy Award Winning Artistic Director and principal choreographer, Heidi Malnar, directs the three divisions of the company: Professional, Pre-Professional, and Junior in training, choreography, and performance. In addition to our diverse group of dancers, Theatre on Tap is proud to share the stage with our Live Jazz Ensemble.

We believe that rhythm is universal, and that tap dancing is accessible to people of all ages and levels of experience; and we offer first-hand opportunities through classes, workshops, master classes, company memberships, and live performances with the hopes of uniting diverse individuals through the power of shared rhythm.
