Industrial tap
Sunday, 7:30 p.m.

Enjoy a performance of Tap Dogs this weekend at the Colonial Theatre in Keene. The show was created by Australian dancer and choreographer Dein Perry and has turned the tap world on its head. The set is industrial, made to look more like a construction site than a dance set. And the dancers wear work boots that are specially modified with taps. They also tap in the most unusual places: ladders, hanging upside down, and on water. They even tap while sparks fly from an angle grinder. That's right; you don't want to miss this show! Tickets are $35-49.
