VanTap Presents the VITDF: Summer Series
Encore – Friday, August 8th | VanTap Festival Concert @ The Annex – 823 Seymour St

What happens when some of the world’s most captivating tap dancers are asked a deeply personal — and hilariously strange — question:“If you could call a tune for someone else, what would it be, and why?”
Think: Tap Dance Karaoke, but with soul, spontaneity, and storytelling.

In Encore, Martin “Tre” Dumas III, Joel Hanna, Jessie Sawyers, Riley Skworoda, Jeffrey Dawson, and special guest Matisse Quaglia come together for an unforgettable evening of rhythm, heart, and humor.
Featuring live music from the Dean Thiessen Trio, and tied together with the playful wit of Joel Hanna, Encore dives into the joy and vulnerability of improvisation. These longtime friends and artists swap songs, share stories, and explore the deep connection between music, memory, and movement — all through the language they speak best: Tap Dance.

Expect dazzling solos, raw emotion, ridiculous fun, and unexpected moments that will leave you laughing, moved, and inspired.
