Still in Miami in my mind

Tap Eire was in a Miami art theater with the world's fastest dancer (38 taps per second in the Guinness Book.) James Devine used to dance for Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance, and put together a lively show with an electric harp, virtuoso violin, and percussion.
At times, history was projected on a screen while the musicians played, or a simulcast video showed the dancing master's tapping feet.
Broken up into 22 segments, the show took only a little more than an hour, so we were never bored or overstimulated.
The Challenge segments featured the dancer and musicians testing each other, playing with rhythms. I would have liked another dancer, but the budget must be pretty tight.
