2010 Workshop Guest Artist: Tap Dancer Joshua Hilberman
February 6 & 7, 2010

Also featuring Lisa LaTouche and Tasha Lawson

Tap dancer Joshua Hilberman performs, choreographs, and teaches internationally. Groomed by vaudevillians and old-time entertainers, and with an ongoing mentorship with tap pioneer Brenda Bufalino, Josh has performed all over the US and Europe, and been a featured faculty member at more than 75 tap dance festivals. Recognized with a lifetime achievement award by the Barcelona Tap Association, a Dance USA/National Endowment for the Arts grant for choreography, and the 2009 Presidential Scholars Teachers Recognition award, Hilberman's travels in tap have entered a third decade.

    "…after modest opening remarks, Josh Hilberman became the zany tap wizard he really is, dancing in half a dozen styles with costumes of ever-escalating weirdness…With the inventive pleasure of all great tappers, he can throw a complex tornado of steps into the ground, but he can also fling a leg out in space to suspend the beat, or skim bodily across distances without suppressing the rhythmic storm that’s going on in his feet."
