THE STEPS I STOLE

The Tap Dance short film THE STEPS I STOLE sheds light on the significance and film-historical development of Tap Dance
from Hollywood's golden era to the present day.
 

Three young Tap Dancers and Filmmakers explore the evolutionary process through improvised dance and in-depth interviews.

The short film critically reflects on the history of Tap Dance, which has been shaped by racism.
 

It poses questions about cultural appropiation and current responsibility: 

How can contemporary Tap successfully process traditions and transform them into innovative, diverse, and communal dance art?
