Tap and Pats

Happy February everyone! What a busy weekend this has been on campus! Friday and Saturday was the Party of Our Lives thanks to the EC Tap Ensemble. The 90’s and 2000’s was the theme of our show this year complete with all of the Bop It, Pokémon, Tamagochi, references you lived through and of course the music you loved. There were the classic songs like Push It, Do You Believe In Life After Love, I’m Blue, We Like To Party, Come On Over, Disturbia, and much more. Here is a back stage picture of Jai Ho, the popular song of the hit film Slumdog Millionaire. Our costumes were authentic as they came from India courtesy of the family of one of our dancers.

It’s always so rewarding to see all of the hard work we put in since the beginning of the year come together. Just because the tap show is over does not mean the fun stops. We performed some the dances after our Saturday afternoon show at Relay for Life where the Party of Our Lives hit the beach! Over $15,000 was raised or the American Cancer Society! The fun of the weekend continued today with our dorm Super Bowl Party! While I was rooting for the advertisements, it was heated between all of the New Yorkers and Massachusetts natives. Hopefully, we’ll all be able to still be friends after the Giants took it all. For now though, it’s time for the premiere of The Voice before we have to return the projector :)
