25th Annual Soul 2 Sole International Tap Festival at Rollins Studio Theatre at the Long Center

The 25th Annual Soul 2 Sole International Tap Festival marks both a long-awaited return and a final farewell for one of the oldest tap festivals in the world, closing out a quarter-century legacy that has shaped tap dance globally. The festival runs June 17–21, 2026, featuring an immersive week of technique classes, improvisational sessions, and performances led by faculty including Dianne Walker, Acia Gray, Brinae Ali, Nicholas Young, Luke Hickey, Elizabeth Burke, Jeremy Arnold, and tap historian Margaret Morrison. Two public concerts anchor the week at the Rollins Studio Theatre: the Participants' Showcase on June 19 and Friends in Time – Faculty Performance on June 20, both accompanied by the Soul 2 Sole Jazz Trio featuring Masumi Jones, Angelo Lembesis, and Dylan Jones. Presented by Tapestry Dance Company, this final edition honors the artists, students, and audiences who have been part of Soul 2 Sole's history since its founding.
