ATDC: floors now open for business!

Last evening, I dropped by the American Tap Dance Foundation's new hub, the American Tap Dance Center, over on Christopher Street where the wine was flowing and the tap shoes tapping and, for one breath-catching moment, all was right with the world. Congratulations, again, to the effervescent Tony Waag--mayor of Tap City and ATDF's artistic and executive director--and his board and staff for creating this charming, welcoming homebase for tap students of all ages.

ATDC is located in the far West Village at 154 Christopher Street (#2B), between Greenwich and Washington Streets. Travel options: #1/PATH/Crosstown M8 to Christopher. A/C/E/F/V/B/D to West 4th Street. Walk west on Christopher from any station.
