Class Description

Description

IFTRA or Institute for the Rhythmic Arts, is a multidisciplinary training program and workshop series for tap dancers, percussive artist and musicians.

Its primary goal is to bring these worlds together through classes, performances, workshops, and events. To educate on the history and legacy of percussive arts and dance, and to expose the students and participants to a varied and expansive pallet of experiences and knowledge. To create spaces that spark conversation and sharing.

To allow each participant to experience how these disciplines may influence their own craft. To inspire dancers to play music, and musicians to dance.

This Summer we are excited to present a weekend workshop at the esteemed 92nd Street Y in New York City. Our faculty for this intensive is Nicholas Young, Derick Grant, Joseph Webb, Leonardo Sandoval and Greg Richardson with additional guest teachers and musicians. There will be classes in Tap Dance, Body Percussion, Music Studies and more.
