About Tap Dogs
Tap Dogs is an unprecedented tap show that combines the symbol of strength and power the workmen with the precision and talent of tap dancing. Dein Perry creator and choreographer has come a long way from the garage behind his dance teacher’s house in Newcastle where he and the “Dogs” learned to tap.
At the age of 17 with no opportunities in sight for a dancing career he earned his union papers as an industrial machinist before moving to Sydney to try and break in to show business. Small chorus parts in broadway style musicals led to his big break where he was cast in the long running Sydney production of 42nd Street.
When it closed Dein decided to create a contemporary show around the themes of his industrial experience with his Newcastle tap dancing mates. Securing a small government grant Dein and collaboration with eclectic designer and director Nigel Triffet and composer Andrew Wilkie Dein created Tap Dogs.
Tap Dogs was an instant success in Austalia, Europe, Asia and America. The Tap Dogs story has since gone on to win many international awards and is depicted in the movie Bootmen directed by Dein Perry.
