The Mark Goodman Tap Company is a non-profit L.A. based dance company founded in 1999 that combines New York swing-style tap with world rhythms and other forms to break new ground, creating a unique tap dance performance. As a non-profit dance company we feel it is necessary to bring dance as an art form into our communities, we need to recognize dance and pass it on to our future generation of dancers and performers. Our mission is to create a hybrid dance form that both educates and entertains while increasing awareness and appreciation of the art form. The Mark Goodman Tap Company aims to reach an expanded and more diverse audience of patrons.
