Tap Dancing, Rhythm and Flow

When: Thursday, March 28, 2024, at 7:00 PM

Where: Blackburn Hamlet Community Centre, 190 Glen Park Drive

Have you ever become so totally immersed in an activity that you were “in the zone”, where your only thought was on the activity at hand and where hours may have passed without you realizing it? Then you have experienced “flow”.

Join tap dancer, choreographer, author and award-winning dance teacher Carolyn Hébert as she talks about the history of tap dancing and her research on the concept of flow. She will also provide us with a demonstration of her amazing tap-dancing skills. You never know…you might even be inspired to try a few steps yourself!

Carolyn completed her PhD in Education at the University of Ottawa, focusing her research on the phenomenon of flow as experienced in improvisational tap dancing. She has been a dance educator for over 15 years, teaching recreational and competitive dance students in studios and community programs. She is a member of the Ottawa Rhythm Initiative Ensemble and was recently awarded an Ontario Arts Council grant to continue work with the YOW Tap collective. Additionally, Carolyn works in policy in the federal public service and is a mom of two.

Admission is free and no registration is required. Refreshments will be served.

People of all ages are welcome.

Looking forward to seeing you!
