On Tap Dancing

Tap dancing will be on the menu at the Rogers Memorial Library in Southampton on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. when Brian Seibert, a dance critic and features writer for The New York Times, will discuss his book “What the Eye Hears: A History of Tap.” Considered the definitive history of tap dancing, it was a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award in 2015. It was named a best book of 2015 by The Economist and Publishers Weekly.

To get the audience in the mood, the library’s tap class will perform “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” before the talk.
