Twin Cities Tap is a registered nonprofit in the state of Minnesota. Twin Cities Tap has been organized and operated to qualify as tax-exempt under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.

WHAT WE DO

Twin Cities Tap supports and presents work from Tap Dance artists. Our artist-focused format aims to broaden perceptions of Tap Dance, creating opportunities for dancers and audiences in Minnesota to participate in and engage with forward thinking works from percussive makers from around the world. Founded in 2015 by Brenna Brelie and Kaleena Miller, Twin Cities Tap produced the Twin Cities Tap Festival for 7 years - an annual event featuring classes, events and performances, held at the Southern Theater in 2015 and the Cowles Center for Dance from 2016-2021

Twin Cities Tap began in 2015 out of the love for tap dance. But more than that, we aimed to highlight the incredible breadth, depth, and artistry of this art form.


Acknowledging the land that surrounds us is part of who we are; it reflects our histories. We need to protect and honor the history and people of these places. The Twin Cities Tap Festival (and the Cowles Center) are located on traditional, ancestral, and contemporary lands of Indigenous people of the Dakota and Ojibwe Nations in Mni Sota Makoce (Minnesota). The Dakota, Anishinaabe people, and Indigenous people from 11 sovereign nations reside in Minnesota and we acknowledge and celebrate the innumerable contributions they have made to our region.
