The live experience
What reaches the room
3rd Coast Rhythm Project is a premier tap dance collective rooted in the San Antonio scene. Founded in 1998 by Barbara Phillips to celebrate a national tap dance extravaganza, the group has grown into a beacon for rhythm-based performance, education, and community engagement. Known for fostering both national and international rhythm-tap talent, the project is tied to a calendar of events that spotlight the art form’s vitality in Texas and beyond.
