In July 2023, the Debbie Allen Dance Academy and the Chloe and Maud Foundation teamed up to produce the first ever Hollywood Tap Festival — we are back and better than ever with year TWO, June 17-23, 2024. This seven day event offers master dance classes, a filmmaking workshop, panel discussions, dance battles, jam sessions, and courses in self-esteem and entrepreneurship, and features a jazz class taught by Debbie Allen and an All-Star Concert Performance featuring world class dancers and musicians! We look forward to celebrating the second annual Hollywood Tap Festival with you and are excited to continue to partner with the community to bring arts to all.
Our mission is to inspire and unite tap dancers and dance lovers from around the world, and together, heighten the global respect and appreciation for this rich American art form. We welcome all people, regardless of economic status, age, gender, artistic or cultural background. The Hollywood Tap Fest is a haven for the creative and artistic process, growth and achievement, building the next generation of artists, entrepreneurs, and world changers.
