Music Box

"Also participating in the varied program was the RPM Youth Tap Ensemble, which did a particularly lovely job with 'Music Box' choreographed by Katherine Kramer. Set to music by Yann Tiersen and featuring nine performers, the piece was unusually textured for a tap number. Most of the footwork was light with an almost feathery quality rather than the more common pounding variety and the shifts in dynamics fostered a sense of expectation." San Antonio Dance Kaleidescope

Available for re-staging, 9 dancers.
