Dynamic tap siblings Joseph & Josette Wiggan show that tap skills can definitely run in the family. They performed this piece during a show that was a part of the Los Angeles Tap Festival in August of this year. They choreographed this piece from 3am to 5am on carpet just two days before performing it.
The song is called “New Orleans Bump” and is performed by Wynton Marsalis. These two dancers are currently remaining very busy. Josette is currently working with the Jazz Tap Ensemble on work entitled “Hollywood Journey” in addition to performing in another show called “Got Rhythm.” Joseph is touring France in a show called “Looking for Josephine”.

I’ve seen Joseph before at events but have never seen this piece. Excellently done.

I got to hang out with Joseph Wiggans a bit this weekend in NYC. He is such a spectacular dancer, he jammed with the Cangelosi Cards at Banjo Jim’s on the Lower East Side.
