Chicago Tap Summit Celebrating 25 years of M.A.D.D. Rhythms! More details coming, soon! As a new feature for this year’s Summit, we are also providing some elective classes!

The 2026 Chicago Tap Summit returns Oct. 2–4 with master classes, a tap history bus tour, vendors, interactive rooms, two world premieres, and the Beyond A Shuffle documentary. All classes and events will take place on your phone, tablet, laptop, or any device where you can stream video! We are happy to be able to offer a jam packed festival with beginning, intermediate, and advanced tap classes. Hip Hop, Chicago Footworking, Music Theory for Tap Dancers, and a Tap for Tots class. In the interest of sharing space and time, we are having all of our events LIVE! Stay tuned for more information about our Panel Discussion, Tap Jam, Show, and Footage session. All of our live events will take place October 2nd – 4th. In efforts to consider all new learning and dancing environments, the classes will be pre-recorded and stay available until October 18th! We recognize and acknowledge that our “home studio” situations are all unique and we want everyone to be able to enjoy these classes.
