Max Pollak, a native Austrian, received his most important training in the conservatories, clubs, and streets of New York City and Havana. He is an experienced musician who performs, teaches, and choreographs worldwide.

Mr. Pollak is the first artist ever to merge authentic Afro-Cuban dance and music with tap and have it recorded on CD. He has established the first ever tap venture in Havana, Cuba called “RumbaTap”, and has worked with Ray Brown, Danilo Perez, Muñequitos de Matanzas, Chucho Valdez, Gregory Hines, and Jimmy Slyde, among others.

He has appeared on Broadway in Tamango’s Urban Tap, and toured the globe with Manhattan Tap, Feet 2 The Beat, Cool Heat-Urban Beat, Tap City on Tour and Beat The Donkey.
