“This number segued into a hard hitting, yet innately feminine Afro Blue, performed to perfection by miss Chloe Arnold. Adorned in a bewitching shawl-top that enhanced every movement. Chloe left the audience breathless to say the least.”

Chloe Arnold is a tap artist whose name should be noted for future reference; seek her out if you can. With In The Spirit a sequence of improvography, she served notice that a woman tapper can do anything a guy can. She is a terrific musician who can propose a distinctive rhythmic pattern and then fashion variations on that pattern in arresting ways, drawing out some phrases, altering the accents in others.
