Keane Sense of Rhythm

.

Keane Sense of Rhythm (KSR) expands the boundaries of tap dance by sharing its passion of this percussive art form. They provide opportunities for people to directly engage in the arts. Through rhythm tap we create opportunities for people to express themselves and facilitate community transformation.

Sisters Ellen Keane and Cathy Keane Wind (co-artistic directors) founded Keane Sense of Rhythm in 1997.  Since it’s founding, KSR has been instrumental in advancing the art of American Tap Dance – a uniquely American art form and part of the cultural heritage of our nation.

• engage and inspire as many people as possible.

• making performances accessible to audiences of all ages and backgrounds. 

• Performances in many regional and national venues. 

In the last year, Keane Sense of Rhythm participated in over 40 performances and audience totals surpassed 16,000 people! Over half of these people experienced tap through events that were free to the public.

Funding is always needed to support Keane Sense of Rhythm’s many endeavors. KSR relies on generous support from their donors to further encourage the creation and performance of new works.
