More About Office Beat

 

Office Beat is a light-hearted, toe tapping, family friendly dance comedy that takes place in the tappiest place to work. We begin with the shuffling of papers and feet as a new hire enters excited to begin his first official day.  The manager is looking forward to her new role as the boss of the office as everyone celebrates her promotion. However, it seems the big wigs have decided to bring in a new face to oversee the office. Tappy workers once happily shuffling through their days are in for a dramatic flap ball change. The arrival of a new Boss brings a strict NO TAP DANCE policy. There’s a revolution under foot as everyone unites to bring tap dance back to the office!
