In Memory of Stephanie Brantley
1959-2020

In these difficult times, Tap: On Tap is sad to announce that we lost one of our original dancers, our beloved Stephanie Brantley on Tuesday, April 7, 2020.  We are still in shock and devastated by our loss.  In the words of our founder/director, Mary Six Rupert,


“Stephanie was such a go-getter, always active and trying new things. She not only tap danced with us, but danced with a modern dance group as well. One of her favorite things was being a basketball coach to kids in Harlem. Stephanie was one-of-a-kind with a bigger than life personality and wonderful smile. I was crazy about her dark sense of humor.

She leaves a hole in our company and our hearts. She will always be an original member of Tap: On Tap and we will cherish the time we shared with her. She certainly changed my life and it was a privilege to know and dance with her for the last 5 years.”


Dearest Steph, Rest In Peace. We love you.
