We’re Ottawa’s tap dance community

JOIN OUR MAILING LIST

We’re a volunteer-led and run tap dance community in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada that creates opportunities for the visibility, growth, and celebration of tap dance in the Ottawa region. 

We’re education-based – offering classes, jams, workshops, etc., that celebrate rhythm, music, history, culture  – and creation, performance and outreach-based, through the ORI Ensemble. We collaborate with local to international artists and work with live music whenever possible. Learn more about what makes us

Whether you’re just starting out, building your skills, honing your craft, rediscovering your love of tap dance, or are an experienced artist, we welcome and support dancers at every stage to express their unique voice.
