Boys' Club Tap Dance Collective is a dynamic trio of women tap dancers: Veronica Simpson (New York City), Laura Donaldson (Calgary), and Elise McGrenera (Toronto). Founded in May 2022 during a residency at tanzhaus nrw (Düsseldorf), the collective quickly gained recognition with residencies at renowned spaces, including Leña Artist Residency, Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, and The Claquettes Club. Our new-found collaboration with percussionists Bob Becker, Morris Palter, and Nathan Smith seek to create new works for tap and percussion to be realized in diverse concert settings.

Dr. Morris Palter is director of percussion studies at the University of Arizona and is endorsed by Black Swamp Percussion, Malletech, Sabian Cymbals, and REMO drum heads.

Nathan Smith was a featured member of the Seattle Seahawks Drumline (2021-23) and proudly endorses Marimba One Instruments and is a Vic Firth/Zildjian Educator.
