Eat your heart out, Michael Flately, there's a new gig in town and their feet are on fire! Rhythmic Souls' new show Legends Never Die: A Revival of American Tap Dance Heroes, is paying tribute to the most beloved and well-known scenes from the movie musicals of the '30s and '40s and adding a modern twist. They are bringing the technicality, speed and athleticism of today’s rhythm tap dancers while still evoking the nostalgia and glamor of performers like Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. The small Dallas company will be on tap at 1:30 p.m. July 26 and July 27 at Pocket Sandwich Theatre and tickets are $10-$15. More information at pocketsandwich.com.
Sat., July 26, 1:30 p.m.; Sun., July 27, 1:30 p.m., 2014
