The hugely successful mass participation tap dancing and storytelling experience Tappin’ In returns in 2025, this time in the East Midlands!

Eight groups of people from across the East Midlands and beyond are taking part in a 12-week programme of dance during summer 2025, exploring tap and body percussion. Each group will get the opportunity to perform in their local area, and will feature in a dance film to be premiered in Nottingham in September 2025.

Tappin’ In 2025 brings together partners from the arts, community, health and wellbeing sectors alongside a creative team, to create a bespoke Tappin’ In experience made by and for our East Midlands communities.

“I had an amazing experience, made new friends, learnt new skills and got to perform on stage in front of amazing crowd.” Participant feedback, Tappin’ In 2022

​​

Our partners include Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, Inspire Culture, Live & Local, Blackfriars Arts Centre and Outside Arts.

Tappin’ In 2025 is supported by Fabric and Arts Council England.
