Max Pollak, named to Dance Magazine’s “25 to Watch” list in 2007, was the first person to merge American Rhythm Tap with Afro-Cuban music and dance. Capturing the charged electricity and power of a Latin Jazz "Orquesta," RumbaTap features a multi-talented international cast of musicians and dancers. The company has toured throughout Europe, Japan and the United States; last year performing for a large crowd at New York City's Central Park Summer Stage.
