"I've done several tap videos over the last year and a half, but really wanted to do something a little more grown up than I had done before. The dancers brought together such a great energy and the our venue, The Muse Brooklyn, really helped us capture the look we were aiming to create. I am really excited for people to see the finished product. I enjoy seeing people get Tappy!" - Rice
