About this Event

Reginald “Reggio” McLaughlin is living tap history. He will share with us his own story and how it connects to many masters from the past. He has been honored by the National Endowment for the Arts as an NEA National Heritage Fellow, earned the Flo-Bert Award for achievements in tap dancing, and shared the stage with countless giants of Tap.

McLaughlin will lead us through a portion of his impressive “Tap Dance Historical Archive,” painting a visual story of tap dancing’s legacy. He will present this uniquely American art form through videos, stories, and performance.

The World Music Foundation, supported by the Illinois Humanities Council, is proud to host McLaughlin and share his extensive knowledge.

After a presentation of his spectacular archive, McLaughlin will perform a special read through of his upcoming one-man show.
