The traditional approach to learning and performing tap dancing is to copy steps. For over 30 years – in her live show, film and other commercial work – Rosie Radiator has proven that tap dance literally escapes the human body if given a chance. In her studios in San Francisco, Rosie’s trademark RadTap® and Tapnique™ dancing has earned her the moniker of “tap dance guru.” Rosie Radiator has appeared in numerous TV, radio, newspaper and magazine articles. Along with her dance troupes, Rosie Radiator has perfected the San Francisco Supershuffle™, revolutionizing peoples’ perceptions of tap dance.

Rosie’s RadTap® is about educating the mind and releasing the music within every dancer through a deep relaxation technique called Tapnique™. Tapnique™ gives dancers new found grace and confidence. Tapnique™ delivers effortless tap dancing because the work is done with the knees, shoulders, and hips- not the feet. RadTap® dancers do not dance over other music; they make music. In this way, RadTap® treats dancers as musical instruments in their own right. Rosie Radiator and the Radiators Nightclub Trio have a long-established history in San Francisco (and across the world) for their lively and entertaining dance numbers. Rosie Radiator proclaimed the world’s first Tap Dance Day in the 1970s and since then she has remained at the forefront of modern tap dancing.
