About Me


Create a Myspace LED ScrollerVaudeville’s next generation, HERE and NOW.From the deep freeze of Minneapolis Minnesota’s sub-zero winter 10 Foot 5 Productions presents... “Buckets and Tap Shoes,” a company of musicians, percussionists and hoofers. Original music, improvisation and choreography derived from roots of funk, soul, jazz, classical, hip-hop, blues and rock. “Buckets and Tap Shoes” is a journey through rhythm, music & tap dance.Every show is a unique and organic entity. Part dance company, part band. All rhythm. The multi-talented cast of performers create music with 5-gallon paint buckets, metal cans, found objects, tap shoes, as well as traditional instruments including electric guitar, bass, keyboards and drums.10 Foot 5 Productions continues to astound audiences from age 5 to 105 with mind-blowing rhythms, precision footwork and powerful groove-based music. Kicking down the 4th wall between audience and performer, “Buckets and Tap Shoes” makes their audience a part of the show.Worldwide audiences speak the universal language of rhythm and music. We need not speak in the same tongue to communicate. Since 1997, 10 Foot 5 has dripped oceans of sweat upon stages around the world including; New York NY, Los Angeles CA, St Louis MO, Denver CO, Washington DC, Sedona AZ, Kansas City MO, Columbia MD, Charleston SC, Rapid City SD, Madison WI, San Antonio TX, Dover DE, W.
