Mr. Taps
The King of Whimsical Dance
As soon as he enters the room, Mr. Taps' engaging personality and fancy footwork entrances audiences. Ayrie King III, better known as "Mr. Taps," effortlessly glides across the floor as he demonstrates different styles of tap dancing, from Fred Astaire's innovative flair to Ann Miller's rapid-fire tapping.
Mr. Taps charismatic, high-energy performance is wonderful entertainment for families and children. Not only is he entertaining to watch, but he strongly involves the audience, teaching them how to do some fancy footwork themselves. Mr. Taps has performed at schools, colleges, theaters and festivals throughout the U.S. Workshops and residencies are also available.
