Caleb Teicher & Nic Gareiss: Ear to the Ground
In Ear To The Ground, award-winning tap and swing dancer Caleb Teicher and celebrated percussive dancer Nic Gareiss draw on tap, swing, lindy hop, Appalachian clogging, and Irish step dance—braiding improvisation, song, and rhythm into a dynamic exchange of sound and movement. The result is an intimate, transportive performance that honors tradition while carving out a genre-defying percussive language all its own.
The New Yorker calls Teicher “one of the brightest lights in tap today,” while the Boston Herald praises Gareiss as “a show-stopper...the most inventive and expressive step dancer on the scene.”
