"Click up your heels at annual tap dance festival"
by Sharon Dargay
An article highlights the 4th Annual Motor City Tap Fest, Aug. 18-21 in Old Main on the Wayne State University campus. The festival will include master classes, a jam session and a performance, "Masters of Tap," by tap teachers and dancers, 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 20 in Orchestra Hall. "I think it's great to have a tap festival in Detroit again," said Fuchs, a recent Wayne State dance graduate who is coordinating festival events at the university. "There was a tap festival in the 1990s. Then for a few years there was no festival at all. When Denise started it a couple years ago, it was great and it has grown really fast."
