On tap at sru 8 dancers featured in series' final show

“Tap Kids” wrap up the Slippery Rock University Performing Arts Series March 30.

SLIPPERY ROCK — Eight young tap dancers will be featured March 30 in a celebration of American youth culture when Slippery Rock University’s Performing Arts Series offers “Tap Kids” as the series’ final show of the season.

The curtain is at 7:30 p.m. in Miller Auditorium.

The show, which debuted at The Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center in 2002, has enjoyed success across the country and abroad. The group has performed at the Tamaulipas International Festival in Mexico and in a gala for the queen of Holland in Amsterdam.

The show uses a series of musical vignettes to tell the story of a group of high school students as they deal with homeroom, social studies class, career day, lunch, a basketball game, detention, the big dance and ultimately graduation.

Tickets are $20 for adults; $18 for senior citizens and youths under 18; and $8 for SRU students. To order, call 724-738-2018. There is a $3 ordering fee.

AVI Fresh, the university food service, is offering a meal before the show for $24 all inclusive. Call 724-738-4245 for the menu or to make reservations.
