O grande sapateador Chuck Green completaria 88 anos nesta terça-feira, 06 de novembro de 2007. 
Neste dia 08 de outubro comemora-se o aniversário de Barbara Duffy, a grande mestra, performer e coreógrafa que esteve no Brasil em diversas oportunidades, entre elas em 1995, 1996 e 2002. Duffy é considerada - por todos que já a viram lecionar, participaram de suas aulas e seus colegas de profissão - uma das melhores professoras de sapateado do mundo. 
Cursos oferecidos pela American Tap Dance Foundation em Nova York a partir deste final de setembro de 2007:
Tal como no Brasil, nos EUA já estão acontecendo diversas comemorações em torno do Dia Internacional da Dança (29 de abril - não confundir com o Dia Internacional do Sapateado, 25 de maio): em Nova York já está rolando, de 20 a 29 de abril, a versão 2007 do "National Dance Week", com cursos, performances e eventos diversos, incluindo a participação da American Tap Dance Foundation, de Mrs. Brenda Bufalino. Consulte o site:
Para os que estiverem em Nova York, a grande mestra Brenda Bufalino estará ministrando aulas no tradicional "Winter Tap Intensive" que em 2007 acontece de 16 a 19 de fevereiro, com 15 Master Classes para todas as idades e níveis ministradas por diversos professores, além de 3 dias de cursos especiais com a própria Brenda Bufalino, entre outros eventos. Entre os professores que participam do workshop estão Chloe Arnold, Dormeshia Sumbry Edwards, DeWitt Fleming, Susan Hebach, Margaret Morrison, Lynn Schwab, Jason Samuels Smith, Tony Waag, Baakari Wilder e Karen Callaway Williams.
