TWA at Atlas Theater

We'll be painting the town red (not to mention white and blue) at the Metro DC Dance Awards, on Monday September 8!

Tappers With Attitude is a finalist in 2 categories, for our "Syncopated Sensations" concert at Dance Place December 15 & 16, 2007. The categories are:

• Outstanding Youth Performance 2008

This award is for an outstanding youth soloist or group performance, for ages 18 and under.

• Overall Production - Small Venue

The nominees in this category performed in venues with fewer than 400 seats, are chosen for original full evening productions this season, and include all dance genres. They are judged on the many elements involved in creating a dance production including production quality, programming choices, choreography, choice of collaborators, and technical and artistic expression of the dancers.

Also, Artistic Director Ms. Vicki is a finalist for:

• Outstanding Achievement in Dance Education 

This award recognizes an individual or organization for outstanding ongoing contributions to the field of dance through educational efforts. These efforts may include academic or non-academic dance training, outreach programs, and/or performances for students and nontraditional audiences.

We get a Big Bang out of these nominations - it's a thrill and an honor to be nominated, let alone to make it to the finals. These acknowledgements of our achievements, whether we win or lose, certainly help us move forward with vigor and energy into the next season.
