FOUNDER EXPOSES YOUNG PEOPLE TO WORLD OF TAP

Bril Barrett considers himself a taptivist. The founder of Making A Difference Dancing Rhythms and M.A.D.D. Rhythms Tap Academy spent his whole life wanting to be a professional tap dancer. “At a certain point, I decided that I wanted to try and help expose young people from the community like me to the art form, to offer it as a solution, or possibility for an option for them, as well,” he said.
