Why Dance Matters

Nathan James: taptastic!

· 38 min · Season 11 Episode 16

Show notes

As the RAD releases its new Musical Theatre syllabus, Dr Nathan James (the RAD’s Deputy Artistic Director – Education) describes what makes it distinctive. From falling under the spell of the tap-happy musical 42nd Street in childhood, to performing in the show as an adult performer, he tells us about discovering his calling as teacher, his research into MGM musicals, the rigours of tap and whether choreographers are right to complain that dance is often ‘bottom of the list’ in contemporary musicals.
