In 1957, world-renowned Tap Master Tommy Sutton looked around Chicago’s South Side and saw
children being denied access to dance education. So he built them a school. That school became
Mayfair Academy, and in nearly 70 years it has shaped the lives of over 30,000 students, including
some of the most remarkable artists and leaders in the country. Swipe to meet the story, the mission,
and the legacy. The story continues. Then join us August 1st to celebrate it. Tickets at the link in bio.
