Quynn Johnson with SOLE Defined: Rhythm Is Our Business | The Kennedy Center
Created by Kennedy Center Local Dance Commissioning Project awardee Quynn Johnson, "Rhythm Is Our Business" is a dance film focused on the legacy of African American female tap dancers whose contributions (many unknown) to tap dance have inspired and impacted audiences today. 0:00 Intro 0:50 Libation 4:26 Oya Elements 8:28 New City 10:50 Rhythm Is Our Business 14:09 Creole Blues 16:26 Sand 21:16 Green Garden 25:07 Your World 25:55 Soleful 28:56 Credits 29:49 Kou Kou On Taps Historically, tap dance has elevated male and white female tap dancers, placing women of color in the background. Today, that narrative has shifted and female tap dancers of color are gaining visibility-headlining performances, creating new works, and producing their own festivals globally. Rhythm Is Our Business celebrates the important impact of master female practitioners while furthering the conversation of what's next for tap dance.
