Our Mission

We channel the energy and enthusiasm of tap dancing back into the community to invoke positive social change.

Currently in our 5th Season, TapIN has trained some of the best young tap dancers in the Bay Area while simultaneously collecting over 500 pairs of tap shoes and raising $18,000 towards our free after-school tap program at the East Oakland Youth Development Center.

This year, we expanding our impact through our partnership with the Chloe & Maude Foundation’s Tap Into Life program.

We believe that all children deserve access to arts education. If you do too, join us. We have tons of ways for you to help us make an impact!
