Video: First Grader Performs at D.C. Tap Festival
Last week I posted about 6-year old Luke Spring’s tap dancing performance at the D.C. Tap Festival.
The Washington Post has followed-up with this fantastic tap video and story!
“That little boy is amazing,” said professional dancer Maud Arnold, recalling her first meeting with the boy through one of his tap instructors. “We have to have Luke” as part of the festival, she said.
Luke wasn’t originally on the program, and some of the other performers didn’t know he would be dancing. Two days before last Friday’s event, he was invited to dance. Arnold said they just wanted him there as an “awesome surprise.” She says the audience gave him a five-minute standing ovation.
Are there other local performers that you would like to see? Share your favorite people, events and shows!
