Often an audience favorite! Enjoy young artists from around the world as they share their rhythms, passion and in many cases, blistering technical prowess. Previous performers included MacArthur “Genius” Michelle Dorrance, Jazz at Lincoln Center soloist, Jared Grimes and CHRP’s Artistic Director Jumaane Taylor. The Student Showcase is a window into the future of tap!
Due to the recent NEA Notification of Termination and freeze on all funding commitments from the NEA —we have had to make the difficult decision to cancel all programming originally scheduled for July 9–13, 2025. This includes the concerts on July 9 (Jazz Showcase) and July 13 (DuSable Museum) as well as the masterclasses July 11–13 (Fine Arts Building).
Rhythm World 35 concerts and classes between July 15–20, 2025 will continue as originally planned.
While we’re disappointed to make this change, we’re thrilled to still bring you a dynamic week of programming filled with special courses, masterclasses, choreographic residencies, and two incredible performances with many of the best teaching and performing artists in the world.
