Background Statement
Rocky Mountain Rhythm is thrilled to be Colorado's go to tap resource for the last decade! In 2015, a community was forming, one timestep at a time, to create Colorado's premiere professional tap dance company. RMR founder Claire Sheek started the company with a powerful vision: to revive the tap dance scene she remembered from her youth and bring tap dance back to the forefront of dance performance and education. She sought to reignite a passion for tap’s rich history, its intricate technique, and the creativity of its choreography. We owe Claire an immense amount of gratitude for the foundations she established which have been instrumental in shaping RMR into the success that it is today.
It’s been an exciting time for RMR as we transitioned into 501(c)3 status in September 2024, an original goal that Claire had over ten years ago. Our continued commitment to advancing tap dance throughout Colorado remains our vision for the future of our company. Because of the support we have received this year, we were able to provide over 50 free community tap classes, free and affordable performances, and compensation for our dancers ... and we're just getting started!
