Tap Into Something Extraordinary
Our Mission
Taplife Hero Foundation preserves and advances tap dance as an original American art form. We create opportunities for dancers and communities to experience, learn, and celebrate tap dance through classes, live events, and mentorship programs across the United States.
"For 45 years tap dance has been my life. It taught me discipline, resilience, artistry, and how to show up — even when everything else was falling apart. Everything I build through tap dance exists to pass that on. This is what it means to experience life through tap dance."
— Anthony Lo Cascio, Founder & Executive Director
OUR PROGRAMS
From weekly classes to national showcases, Taplife Hero Foundation creates pathways for tap dancers of all ages at every level.
LIT: A Tap Dance Experience — One day. Real wood floors. An educational experience and showcase built for learning & performing, not competing. Every LIT includes the LIT Showcase — students who took classes that day, plus visiting dancers and companies, perform alongside our faculty.
Queens, NY Adult Tap Classes — Weekly classes for adults. No registration required — just walk in, pay at the door, and take class.
National Tap Dance Day Celebration — A community celebration of tap, open to everyone, every year. Next date to be announced.
