Our 10th Anniversary

In just a few days we will be launching our first ever Kickstarter campaign. We want you to join us in bringing our 10th Anniversary Season to life. We will be presenting three brand new suites – a first for the company – including a special collaboration with Max ZT and House of Waters.

We will be creating Three World Premiere Tap Dance Suites:

A Return to Love – a brand new suite harkening back to the days of All For Love. The many shades that color the pursuit of love return in this suite that evokes the emotions that first brought Cats Paying Dues to the stage.

First Instruments – The voice and percussive dance are among the earliest of instruments and combine to produce sounds that are both ancient and timeless. First Instruments is a trip through rhythms and lyrics that echo the equally ancient and timeless questions of love, humanity, and the divine.

In the House of Waters – A world premiere collaboration with Max ZT and House of Waters brings together the unique sensibilities of artistic director Andrew J Nemr and hammered dulcimer virtuoso and composer Max ZT. Nemr’s choreography will bring new arrangements of Max ZT’s unique compositions to life as Cats Paying Dues dancers add another layer of physicality and percussion to music influenced by Indian and Senegalese traditions. Max ZT and House of Waters will perform live.

We’re going big, and we want to share the experience with you!
