LITTLE ROCK TAP FESTIVAL
MONDAY 6/3-THURSDAY 6/6. Robinson Center. $65-$375. 

For some, it was Gene Kelly in “Singin’ in the Rain.” For others of us, it was that time Genevieve Artadi tap-danced on kitchen tile in an oversized Christmas sweater on her Instagram feed. Whatever it is that gets folks head over heels for the shuffle-ball-change, it’s bound to be on display at this four-day festival in Robinson Center’s William Grant Still ballrooms, a series of classes, showcases and improv sessions open to tappers at various skill levels.
