1976 thru 2006  Rosie Radiator and the Guinness World Champion Rad Tap Team(TM)  are seen here dancing on a San Francisco Cable Car.  Rosie established  San Francisco's annual Tap Dance Day with her historic tap dance across the Golden Gate Bridge and then the "Tour de Tap for Clean Air".   Each year without fail the troupe tap danced across the city in a colorful tribute to tap dancing and the outstanding public transportation systems in the bay area. The choreographed unison tap dancing included ferry boats, underground trains,street cars and, of course, the beloved cable cars.

The Rad Tap Team(TM) members dance high above historic Ghirardelli Square along Fisherman's Wharf. The stairs and curbs along the way require special choregraphy and training that allows the tap dancers to dance for miles without fatigue or injuries. The dancers use special extra comfortable tap shoes designed to allow them to keep their feet relaxed on the cement and other urban surfaces.

The pure joy of street tap dancing brings smiles to the crowds along the way. The Rad Tap Team(TM) makes it look easy but the reason they hold the Guinness World Record for long distance team tap dancing is the  Loose Ankle Tap®  Technique. The deep relaxation of their feet allows them to dance for miles,their current record is 9.6 miles of unison tap dancing...it took 6.5 hours!
