Movement Afoot is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to tap dance--the only such organization in Columbus. We self-produce all of our concerts on a very small budget, with virtually all administrative and operational support coming from volunteer hours (mostly by our directors and the dancers themselves). If you are able, we would be grateful for your support in the form of a donation to support our upcoming concert, "The Matter of Time"! It's the only professional concert of tap dance you'll find performed by Columbus artists this year. 100% of donations support your local arts community: dancers, musicians, documentarians, theatre staff, etc., who live and work in Columbus.

You can donate easily through any of the following:
- Venmo:
- PayPal: [email protected]
- Zelle tag: movementafoot1

We are so grateful for donations in any amount. If you want to have fun with it, here are a few fun donation amount suggestions!

$5 - this is our 5th full-length concert
$10 - celebrating a decade of work
$20.14 - we were founded in 2014
$32 - "standard" jazz chorus is 32 bars
$69 - the age of our oldest dancer (we are proudly intergenerational!)
$120 - 1x2x3x4x5 (don't ask 😂)

If you have a few minutes, go to YouTube and find this tribute to Fred Strickler made by Linda Sohl-Ellison. Strickler was born and raised in Columbus, attended Jimmy Rawlins' famed dance school, and did an undergraduate degree at OSU. He passed a few weeks ago at age 81 in California, where he was a professor for decades. He made a great impact on "concert" tap dance, as a co-founder of Jazz Tap Ensemble (with Lynn Dally and Camden Richman) and member of Rhapsody in Taps (Linda Sohl-Ellison). RIP.

Save the Date: Sept 26-27, 2025, Movement Afoot presents "The Matter of Time," a concert of retrospect and prospect, at The Van Fleet Theater (Columbus Performing Arts Center)

Time ticks by and we've been around a while. There is old and new, older and younger, revisitation and creation. I hope you'll join us for an evening of beautiful tap dance and music.
