Hailed as “the queen of tap” (The New York Times), Dormeshia returns to The Joyce reaching for new heights. In her latest work Rhythm Is Life, the dynamic tap dancer creates a kaleidoscope of choreography that both moves with the universal pulse of life and invites others to find their own groove. Performed by a group of magnetic dancers and live musicians, Rhythm Is Life is a meditation, a voyage and above all, a celebration of life.
