Full Plot Details

About ten years ago, a group of us produced a fourteen-minute short film, 'Tap Heat', which film contrasted the traditional tap with the contemporary, as it's being created and performed by a new generation of dancers. With 'Tap World', we wanted to show how this uniquely American art form has been given an exciting resurgence through the global embrace of dancers and audiences around the world. With 'Tap Heat"s popularity, we decided to reach out and invite dancers, choreographers and dance companies from across the planet to participate in a feature-length global documentary. Along with the U.S., we received 114 submissions from thirteen countries around the world. We asked not only to see the participants dancing, but also to learn their personal stories.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 8/10 by Laura BleibergTap World, also takes viewers around the world, and that, plus some flat out terrific performances, make this a surprisingly lovely little film.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Diana ClarkeIt's rare to find a film that portrays dancers of all shapes, colors, ages, and sizes as beautiful, which they are.
National Newspaper Publishers Association - 6/10 by Dwight BrownYou wouldn't have known that tap dancing is as international as Coca Cola, until you saw this thoroughly heartwarming film.
Washington Post - 6/10 by Stephanie MerryThe movie is at its best when Hargrove shows rather than tells. Anyone can appreciate these artists in motion, all of whom prove the infectious appeal of a dance that doesn’t just respond to rhythm but creates its own.
The New York Times - 6/10 by Neil GenzlingerIt would be better if it had a bit less proclaiming and a bit more nuts-and-bolts information, but still, it’s refreshing to see people bubbling over with enthusiasm for an art that is somewhat out of the mainstream.
New York Daily News - 4/10 by Katherine PushkarThis crowded 72-minute doc “focuses” on at least 13 different dancers in a well-meaning but misguided and ultimately frustrating love letter to tap.
The Hollywood Reporter - 4/10 by Frank ScheckThe frequently dazzling performance footage is offset by long dull interviews with dancers who intone such platitudes as "the language of music is rhythm…rhythm is the language of life."
User Review - 10/10 by edward sInspirational and emotionally charged documentary about the rhythm of life.
User Review - 10/10 by Aubrey CThe lights dim and simple text illuminates the screen stating the basic premise of the film- tap dancers sharing the stories of their lives. What follows in the next 72 minutes is a film that is will move you, that will make you cheer and make you cry, and make you believe in the incredible power of the art form of tap dance. Directed by Dean Hargrove and Produced by Chloe Arnold and Maud Arnold, Tap World features tap dancers from all over the world, exploring their relationship with the art form and how it has impacted each of their lives. All of the dancers have a unique story of their upbringing and how they found tap dance. The common theme among everyone in this film is that tap dance is what makes them who they are. Producers Chloe and Maud Arnold grew up in Washington DC, and experienced many hard times growing up. They fell in love with tap dance at a young age, and have never let anything stand in their way of making their dreams a reality. They are a testament to how hard work, determination, and a positive outlook can lead you to achieve incredible things. They have both performed and taught internationally and always spread their love of tap dance wherever they go. As Chloe says in the film: "My mission and my goal is to elevate tap, to expose communities, public audiences, to the amazing artists that exist all around the world." Tap World is an excellent vehicle for carrying out that mission and working towards that goal. One of the most powerful stories in the film is that of Evan Ruggiero, a tap dancer with a peg leg. Several years ago, he had to have his leg amputated due to cancer. Evan is perhaps the best example of perseverance in tap dance and how nothing can stand in the way of tap dancers doing what they love. He overcame tragedy and is now flourishing and discovering his new voice. Tap World is truly a film for everybody. It doesn't matter if you tap dance or not. The underlying message is that the most human way of connecting with others is through our artistic passions, because that is how we are able to express ourselves most authentically. Tap World can inspire anyone who has a dream or a goal and will do anything to make it happen. At the start of the film, Ted Levy states, "rhythm is the language of life". This is affirmed time and time again throughout the film in the different ways that tap dancers use the art form to communicate with others and express who they are. Tap dance is a universal language. It crosses societal divides such as race, nationality, and religion. Tap dance is constantly evolving as leaders in the field innovate and push it forward to unforeseen heights. As Chloe Arnold astutely proclaimed: "For those determined, and those willing, there's always a way." Tap World proves this and more... that tap dancers are strong people with an infallible passion for what they do. I have never been prouder to be a tap dancer than when I was sitting in the audience at the premiere, seeing what I experience in life portrayed on the big screen. I have never been more in love with my art form.
User Review - 10/10 by JahiChambers MI loved the film. It's educational, fun, insightful, inspiring and I left the theatre with feeling like dancing!
