STREET TAP
Brian Jones and Donald Suthard have been performing together as Street Tap
since 1995. They tap on a wooden stage that they bring wherever they perform,
clamping it together on overturned buckets. Sets of tuned boxes provide
additional surfaces for the tap teamwork.
Brian Jones has choreographed for and danced with many groups, including
Hawaii's Volcano Circus and his own All-Tap Revue.
Donald Suthard has been a dancer at Walt Disney World and has traveled the USA
with the National Touring Company of Sesame Street Live.
Tap dancing to classic American jazz, Street Tap brings street energy to
theaters, festivals and concerts as well as sidewalks and basketball courts.
