Sole Symposium is a tap dance collective dedicated to bridging the gap between dance/music, performer/audience and artist/community. Like our name suggests we are a symposium; a meeting place, a seminar, a conversation between like-minded artists.

So why tap dance? Sole Symposium is comprised of three women who met through their joy for tap. All coming from a variety of backgrounds, we are connected by the rhythm of tap dance, which resonates with our beating hearts. It is our goal to learn from the tappers of the past and present and continue to bring this wonderful art form into the future.
