TAPS East sits just north of New York City—close enough to pull from the best talent in the business.
Our faculty includes Broadway stars, iconic choreographers, and living legends who bring real-world experience and next-level insight straight into the studio. This isn't textbook teaching—this is direct access to the minds and mentors shaping the industry today.
