The culmination of jazz music and tap dance is a tradition that has been passed down through

the music. Through American songbook favorites and standards composed and established

within the Bebop era, this is our expression of gratitude to those dedicated to preserve this

dance and this music, as well as to those committed to progress these forms.

Ayan Imai-Hall is a tap dancer from New Hampshire. In 2012 Ayan was awarded an NHSCA

Traditional Arts Grant with Blues musician, TJ Wheeler. Since then, Ayan has strived to bring

the dance to the music throughout the New England Seacoast.
