John Manzari — Dancer

John’s Little Island sets are high-energy experiences with tap dance as the focal point. It features selections from traditional and modern masters—spotlighting enduring connections between past and present. Following in the footsteps of his mentor Maurice Hines Jr., these shows aim to modernize the idea of the traditional song and dance man. The first of these shows on July 16 features Jonathan Thomas on piano, Jonathon Muir-Cotton on bass and Michael Ode on drums.
