Is tap dance only for the kids? No!

Keane Sense of Rhythm Social Club
Members of the Social Club performing at
the Chicago Human Rhythm Project


The Social Club started when some adult women tappers decided to take their love of tap dance to the next level. Most of the women had been dancing for years and taking advanced classes from Ellen Keane and Cathy Keane Wind. In spite of schedules that already included families, jobs and other community commitments, they dedicated themselves to developing a tap dance repertoire as a group. They have not only done that, but had a lot of fun along the way!

Audiences love the enthusiasm, maturity and joy they bring to their dancing. These women dance for the love of it and they know how to swing. One common reaction when they perform is that women in the audience who danced as kids are reminded of how they loved tap in the past. Some even get new shoes and go find an adult class. Now that's success!
