Tap dance is a North American art / dance form, which was born in the 19th century, fruit of the miscegenation of ethnic percussive dance styles that were brought to the United States.

Quorum Project aims to encourage and train students with aptitude for dance and who have goals of professionalization. The technical disciplines taught are Contemporary and Classical Ballet, allowing the student to work and develop their technical and artistic abilities. It is also composed by a choreographic workshop, in a work developed by invited choreographers quarterly, thus allowing the students the contact with different styles and proposals of movement.
The developed choreographic works are presented both in Amadora where the Academy is based and also tour in Portugal, being this performative slope of extreme importance for the project objectives.
Quorum Project works as a young dance company, with goals that go beyond those of a choreographic workshop, with levels of attendance and commitment required of its participants, as well as the search for the possibility of circulation to present the works specially created for this company . The dancers who aspire to join the cast of the Quorum Project are submitted to a cast at the beginning of each academic year.
