Meet Isaac Stauffer: From Rural Iowa to Chicago Tap Theatre’s National Stage
For Isaac Stauffer, dance has always been about connection—between music and movement, performer and audience, and past and present. That connection started early, on a 2x4 plank in his Iowa farmhouse, and will come full circle when he returns home to perform with Chicago Tap Theatre at the Temple Theater on April 17. We caught up with Isaac ahead of the show to talk about his journey from rural Iowa to the professional stage, and what it means to bring his passion for tap back to the place it all began.
