Current Projects
SYDNEY FRINGE
Tommy J Egan presents his intimate and entertaining live show. Tommy is one of Australia’s most respected tap dancers hailed by reviewers as ‘genuinely breath-catching’ (Time Out London), ‘Flawless’ (The Advertiser) but also in one review, ‘loveable’, however lacking sex appeal- huh?. If you are familiar with tap dance performances that typically feature sequins, jazz hands and sparkles, get ready for a refreshing and unique experience because this is tap dance like you’ve never seen.
Join Tommy for an unforgettable celebration of tap dance in Two Right Feet. With piano (Harry Sutherland) and bass (Noel Mason) accompaniment, you'll be treated to an exhilarating experience that's both entertaining and full of rhythm and humour. Direction by Nigel Turner-Carroll (The Tap Pack, Drummer Queens, Junkyard Beats and Eireborne)

The TAp PACK
The Tap Pack has just performed on MS Euorpa from Sydney to Manilla. Soon they will perform at The Comedy Theatre in Melbourne, QPAC in Brisbane, The Sydney Opera House and the Canberra Playhouse.
THE TAP PACK is a high energy, tap comedy show inspired by the infamous “Rat Pack” which included the famous talents of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jnr.
They infuse tap dance with swing music and witty banter. The Tap Pack is a taste of a new, highly entertaining act tapping up a storm. With credits on stage, film and television and with over 20 musical theatre productions between them, The Tap Pack is pure entertainment.
Men of Leauge

PARAMOUNT PLUS
Thomas had the privilege of working with Sponge Bob while creating a birthday celebration tap dance number for Paramount Plus’ 1 year birthday!
Working with Killer Creative to create this number, with a funky happy birthday track created by Stefan Novwak, we had 15 dancers nationwide. This set was a lot of fun.
THE TAP PROJECT AUSTRALIA
The Tap Project just finished one of their most successful workshop tours ever! Currently the youth company is working on a video to be shot at the start of term 2 and a performance at Syd Tap Fest.
The Tap Project Australia is an initiative that creates projects including but not limited to workshops, masterclasses, dance films and shows. One of it's major projects is "The Tap Project Company", a group of 20 students from each Melbourne and Sydney that work together weekly, with the aim to train, create and perform. We attempt to set up our teachers as mentors for the team to give them a different learning experience, instilling them with some responsibility over their training and their part in the team.
All of our mentors are prominent Australian professionals. We tour throughout school holidays to bring workshops all over Australia to educate and inspire through the art form of tap.
MS Europa
Tommy leading The Tap Pack aboard the MS Europa for two shows. Set with a live band cruising between Australia and the Philippines, this was a truly wonderful performance.
Ivy party
Working closely with Le Mashum, Thomas performed in an amazing roving set, improvising on stages at the glorious Ivy, Sydney.
Australian Tap Dance Festival 2023
Thomas is on the faculty for 2023 at the Australian Tap Dance Festival.
