Travis Knights

Driven by the vibrant passion of his ancestors, Travis Knights has rhythm and swing to spare! Tap dance, a source of wonder and infinite possibilities, is etched into his heart. Trained from the age of 10 by none other than Montreal’s queen of tap dancing, Ethel Bruneau, he made his debut in 2000 as a principal dancer in the biopic Bojangles, performing alongside two tap legends, Gregory Hines and Savion Glover. Since then, Travis Knights’ tap shoes have taken him on an incredible journey through a variety of eclectic collaborations. Accompanied by his band, he delivers an electrifying performance—a perfect fusion of tap and live jazz.

Let yourself be carried away by the rhythm!

“When he strikes the ground with his foot, Travis Knights summons centuries of tap dance tradition carried by the African-American community. When he looks to the sky, he invites his ancestors to cheer him on.”  Le Devoir, Montréal
