Celebrating 7 Years
EARLY REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Now in its 7th year, the “Ladies in the Shoe” Tap Conference returns to 92NY as both a featured part of the 2026 Uptown Rhythm Dance Festival and co-presenter alongside Works & Process at the Guggenheim.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, the “Ladies in the Shoe” Tap Conference honors the legacy and artistry of accomplished female tap dancers and influential ambassadors of the form. Created and directed by award-winning tap dancer Dormeshia, this event includes 2 days of classes, a Dance Party/Tap Jam and 2 live performances featuring Demi Remick, Claudia Rahardjanoto, Amanda Castro, Josette Wiggan, and Brenda Bufalino. Designed for intermediate and advanced tap dancers, ages 13+, the conference celebrates, inspires, and empowers women in tap to continue to thrive within the tap community and beyond.
