GRANT SWIFT

With over 20 years experience performing around the world, from the streets of New Orleans to the New York Tap Festival on
Broadway, Grant Swift brings an energy and style of tap rarely seen to the Australian dance scene.

A former state boxing champion and national silver medalist, Grant now continues with that same drive and determination to better the education and awareness of tap dance in Melbourne, throughout Australia and around the world.

As the Australian representative of the International Tap Association and Artistic Director of the Melbourne International Tap Festival, he is a truly positive energy in the promotion and education of the beautiful art form called "Tap Dancing."

"One of the most Spiritually motivated, Politically active artists in our generation.  He has the guts to say what most of the world is thinking.
His dance is truly inspired by a higher force."
Jason Samuels Smith - Emmy Award Winner and Co Director L.A. Tap Festival

"Grant Swift is fierce"
