Founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo first performed in the late-late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts. The Trocks, as the dancers are affectionately known, quickly garnered a major critical essay by Arlene Croce in The New Yorker which, combined with reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice, established the company as an artistic and popular success.

Blending multi-octave vocals and world-class tap dancing on a soulful setlist featuring both classic and contemporary chart-topping hits, Solomon Jaye's TAP INTO SOUL offers an exciting new take on a timeless genre of music. From "I Feel Good" (James Brown) and "Let's Stay Together" (Al Green) through "Superstition" (Stevie Wonder) and "September" (Earth, Wind & Fire) to "Shape of You" (Ed Sheeran) and "Uptown Funk" (Bruno Mars), the incredible music featured in this high-energy show (accompanied by Jaye's frenzy of fast footwork and even some surprise instrumental solos) transports listeners from the 1950s to today in the blink of an eye! Audiences may have previously seen or heard him via collaborations with a parade of Grammy winners and nominees, including Pentatonix, Jessie J, Robin Thicke, Jazz phenom Mindi Abair, and Broadway stars Shoshana Bean and Alyssa Fox… but if you haven't yet experienced the incredible cross-genre mashup of music, dance, and electrifying energy created every time Solomon Jaye steps onto the stage, it's time to TAP INTO SOUL!
