SALT LAKE CITY, UT –
Rich sound and fascinating rhythm will ring out as Footwork: An Evening of Tap Dance takes to the stage at the Post Theatre on March 6th. Debby Robertson and members of SLCTap, along with Colleen West and the Foot Poetry Tap Dance Ensemble will perform on Saturday March 6th at 7:30 p.m. at the Post Theatre at Fort Douglas on the University of Utah campus.

Robertson and West have shared producer duties before, in last year’s RDT Sponsored “LINK” series event entitled Footwork: An Evening of Percussive Dance. Whereas that performance explored all genres of percussive dance, this will be the first ever to focus entirely on classic and contemporary tap dance. The stage at the Post Theatre is especially appealing to tap dancers for its resonant wood floor, (unusual for dance performance spaces) allowing the intricate footwork to be clearly heard and fully appreciated.

Known for her technique and knowledge of classic tap, Robertson and her group will perform a 1930’s vaudeville-era work, a classic soft-shoe routine by the famed “class act” duo of Honi Coles & Brenda Bufalino, as well as a complex a capella quartet. The Foot Poetry Ensemble will display their youthful exuberance and technical chops in a lively Latin piece choreographed by West, a witty disco-dance parody, and a hard-hitting hip-hop-inspired piece.

***The Dancers involved in SLC Tap  are: Jann LeVitre, Melissa Jensen, Jan Knerr, Sonia Woodbury, Yda Smith, and Rebecca Robertson
