TAP DOGS RETURN TO NEWCASTLE

Australia’s very own Tap Dogs first appeared at the Sydney Festival in 1995.  The tapping feet of this internationally acclaimed dance sensation has now reverberated around the world in 330 cities; 37 countries, and been seen by more than 11 million people.  Now they are coming home to Newcastle with a show that is stronger, faster, louder and more outrageous than ever.

Created by Olivier Award winning choreographer Dein Perry, this global dance phenomenon combines the strength and power of workmen with the precision and talent of tap dancing and is part theatre, part dance, part rock concert and positively electrifying. 

The adrenalin pumped touring cast includes the best tap dancers from around the world. Leading the pack is Sheldon Perry (brother of Dein) along with fellow Aussies Matthew Papa, Nathaniel Hancock, Jesse Rasmussen and from the US Anthony Russo and Richard Miller.  In addition to the macho line-up, Tap Dogs now has two beautiful female percussionists, Cat Hunter and Lyndsay Evans joining the testosterone fuelled action on stage.

Tap Dogs will be performing at Civic Theatre from Tuesday 10th to Sunday 15th July.

Tickets are available from Ticketek. Call 132 849 or visit www.ticketek.com.au

The Tap Dogs dropped in on the Knights ahead of their Newcastle tour to offer the boys a unique training session.
