“Mr. Devine’s dazzling mix of step dance, hip-hop and classic tap look halfway between Fred Astaire elegance and Savion Glover hunkered-down brilliance. Most important, his art is a delight.”—The New York Times

A thrilling mix of tap, step dance and urban rhythms, Celtic Tap features Irish tap dancer James Devine, the Guinness World Records 'Fastest Dancer in the World,' who clocks in at an astounding 38 taps per second. Devine’s amazing footwork is accompanied by live musicians on fiddle and percussion, creating one rhythmic spectacle after another.

PREPERFORMANCE TALK with dance critic Debra Cash, exploring the global fusion behind James Devine’s virtuoso rhythm tap technique. The free 20-minute talk will begin 1 hour before the performance.
