We welcome hearing from readers. Whether you have a suggestion for a topic, a correction to something we’ve published, or simply a note about the craft, we read every message. Stage & Step is an independent editorial resource on tap dance and musical theater, based broadly in New York City; you can learn more about this resource and its editorial approach.
What we’d love to hear
- Topic suggestions. Is there an aspect of tap or musical-theater dance you wish were explained clearly? Tell us — reader questions shape what we write next, and some of our most-read articles began as a single emailed question.
- Corrections. We work hard to get the history and technique right, but we are not infallible. Dance history is full of contested dates, disputed origins, and steps whose names vary from studio to studio. If you spot an error or can point us to a better source, we genuinely want to fix it.
- Educational use. Teachers and students are especially welcome. If our articles are useful in your classroom or studio, we’d be glad to know how you’re using them, and what would make them more useful.
- Reader stories. A memory of a great performance, a teacher who changed how you hear rhythm, a show that made you fall for the form — these notes remind us why the craft matters, and we treasure them.
What this form is not
Because we are an independent editorial resource and not a studio, agency, or anyone’s representative, we cannot pass messages to particular performers, arrange lessons or bookings, or offer career or casting advice. If you are looking for a specific artist, a teacher, or a company, your best route is the official channels of the organizations and institutions we link to throughout the site. What we can do is help you understand the craft — and point you toward reputable resources for the rest.
Send us a note
Please use the form below. It is the best way to reach the editorial desk, and it helps us keep track of suggestions and corrections in one place. We aim to read everything, though we cannot always reply individually.
Prefer the short version? A one-line note with the article title and your comment is perfectly welcome. Thank you for reading, and for caring about the craft.
