What’s a Salon, you ask? It’s a concert series where the concept is that two tap dancers and two musicians that have never played together in this exact combination meet on stage and improvise together. The improvisation may be structured, have a theme, have a sort of score or order of appearance, be based on traditional music and dance or on new genres like noise. In any case, we consider it self-evident that tap dance is music. Salons are not to be confused with Stepperiet, which is a weekly improv-training on Monday mornings.
There have been more than 25 Salons since 2018.
Check out the compilation of bootleg videos recorded during various Salons during the last three years, from the first baby steps… Of course the most epic moments are not even on film as we were all too busy being in the moment!
