30 Feet Together, 6 Feet Apart is geared to be a celebration of the power and necessity of dance and live music, and a vision of how dance performances on a concert stage can be presented at this time. This show includes a live jazz trio featuring funk and soul master JC Brooks as host and vocalist along with tap dancing by CTT.
“For the past three months, we have been pushing every single day to try to keep tap dance content available to the public, including a twice-weekly interview show on Instagram, a weekly tap-centric Book Club on Zoom, donation-based classes every Wednesday and more,” said Chicago Tap Theatre Artistic Director Mark Yonally. “We’ve seen a lot of excitement and appreciation around these efforts. And yet, they haven’t addressed the core mission of the Company: to create and present tap dance performances with live music to the public. This has been in the works for two months now, and we just decided we had to do whatever we could to make this happen.”
