This was the 2nd time I've been to this event. I took a friend with me who swears she will go annually now. Really a terrific performance.
Great tapping! Very enjoyable, and talented dancers - I loved it at the end when they invited audience tappers to go on stage and tap.
The performance was so much fun and the dancers were incredibly talented. We loved their comraderie and different dancing styles. We went with two other couples and we all left the theater feeling happy, energized, and laughing.
Fun, amazing, spirited. Great contact with the audience. Keep on dancing.
WOW, what a great event. So full of talent, life and energy. The performance also had a great sense of fun and humor woven into the evening. I am looking forward to next's year production!
What a fun night! We didn't know what to expect, but were happily surprised by the talent onstage. I'm making this an annual event.
Awesome awesome awesome performance, infused with talent and creativity. The audience was engaged the whole time, on the edge of our seats, not knowing what to expect next...and loving every second of it. Could not have asked for a better performance.
I am a beginning tapper so this was really amazing to watch (we didn't bring our shoes but if you do you can go on stage at the end of the show)
I think my mouth was open most of the performance because I was in awe of the fabulous tapping! I've missed the show in the past but will make sure I go in the future. Maybe by next time I'll know how to Shim Sham!
Absolutely loved it! What a treat! And an introduction I knew nothing about. I'm signing up for tap lessons ASAP!
Loved it. The pace was perfect, the variety of dancers and sequences were segued perfectly and all in all a wonderfully entertaining evening.
It was fun, well presented and I had a great time. I haven't been to a tap dance show in years.
This was lots of fun. Great high energy. I didn't know this is an annual event and I'd definitely go again. And what fun it was at the end when all the tap dancers in the audience went onstage and danced.We left with big smiles on our faces.
I have been attending this event for about 3 years now and have never been disappointed. I brought a friend who is new to tap (but he's a musician!) and he loved it and found it inspiring. All the dancers are so amazingly talented. I was sorry that Sam Weber was out of commission and hope he will be able to recover and continue in the future. I went to the first of the 2 performances and there was no Ted Levy (listed as a special guest), and no explanation. I liked the fluorescent outline tap number.
We enjoyed the second half much more than the first and left - also felt the main solo performances were too long. Loved the florescent dance in the dark and the clog guys.

The Herbst is small by most performing-arts standards (only 928 seats). So despite its stately appearance, it provides a refreshingly intimate atmosphere.
Wine, beer, soda and coffee are often available in the Main Veterans marbled lobby for shows with intermissions (not lectures).
