Sarah Reich’s Tap Music Project is a band consisting of tap dancers and musicians based out of Los Angeles, California. In 2011, world-renowned performer and choreographer, Sarah Reich started the band with tap dancers focusing on their art form as a percussive instrument. Sarah soon began to collaborate with musicians to write original music based from tap dance. The band has recently performed at the Ford Amphitheatre, UCLA JazzReggae Festival, Blue Whale Jazz Club, and the televised L.A. County Holiday Celebration to name a few.

Sarah Reich has emerged as one of the new leaders in the Art Form of Tap Dance.  She was featured in an article titled "the Bandleader" in Dance Magazine (2017). Sarah has been sought after to perform, choreograph, and teach in over 30 countries outside of the United States. She has toured with Scott Bradlee's world famous band, Postmodern Jukebox.

With her Tap Music Project intensives in various cities, Reich teaches tap dancers how to dance with more musicality, communicate with musicians and write music. Using a live band in class, she instructs students on how to "scat" rhythms or transcribe choreography with rhythm notation, among other skills.

Sarah is developing new, and exciting works with her company Tap Music Project, with her debut Tap Jazz Album titled “New Change”. This album is originally produced, composed from percussive tap rhythms, and performed by a great selection of musicians to create a unique sound. She hopes this is just the beginning.
