KEANE SENSE OF RHYTHM

Keane Sense of Rhythm (KSR) expands the boundaries of tap dance by sharing its passion of this percussive art form. They provide opportunities for people to directly engage in the arts. Through rhythm tap we create opportunities for people to express themselves and facilitate community transformation. We are committed to providing scholarships to dedicated and talented youth of our Youth Tap Ensemble who are financially unable to pay their tuition. Sisters Ellen Keane and Cathy Keane Wind (co-artistic directors) founded Keane Sense of Rhythm in 1997. Since it’s founding, KSR has been instrumental in advancing the art of American Tap Dance – a uniquely American art form and part of the cultural heritage of our nation. Their goal is to engage and inspire as many people as possible. KSR is committed to making performances accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. Our dancers perform in many regional and national venues. In the last year, Keane Sense of Rhythm participated in over 40 performances and audience totals surpassed 16,000 people! Over half of these people experienced tap through events that were free to the public. Please help us continue our mission to preserve, present, create, and expand the boundaries of American Tap Dance through education, creation of new works, performing, presenting, collaborating with other artists and investing in talented youth.
