Dear Tap and Jazz Lovers,
Performing Arts Houston is presenting Caleb Teicher on Saturday night, September 14, 2024, at downtown Houston's The Wortham Center. Collaborating with his jazz pianist, he'll swing, jazz, and tap dance in his delightful own style.

I will be there, and hope that I'll see some of you there, too!

Dear Tap Happy People, long-time and new:
Please stand by. Changes are afoot. (Yes, pun intended.)
By early September or before, an announcement will be made.

Meanwhile, keep moving your body! Make rhythms, dance, walk, swim, yoga, or whatever brings you joy! Our bodies are our sacred vehicles for our souls on Planet Earth. Have fun taking care of yours!
