Kwok Wai Kit, Ken / Hong Kong - China SAR Dancer | Teacher | Choreographer | IDO Judge
I am Kwok Wai Kit, KEN from Hong Kong China, I was joining the IDO World Tap dance Championships 2012, ranking 7. This was a very unforgettable experience: If you are a Tap Dancer who likes to tap dance, you must participate in this competition, you will definitely benefit a lot and get to know more tappers and friends. I also served as an IDO-judge in 2018. This experience allowed me to meet more dancers of the new generation.
Ken is the Artistic Director of R & T (Rhythm & Tempo). In Hong Kong During his time in R & T, he created many great pieces. Recently works includes “Sidewalk Café”, “Crazy for Technology“, “Tap Building”, “Pay It Forward”, “Muban A Tap Dancing Journey” & “Office Mad Man” Etc. Initiated the Hong Kong Tap Festival (HKTF) in 2010 with R&T team, the festival is now an annual dance event.

I am lucky to meet Michael who is introduced by Mrs. Lo from Hong Kong Dance Federation 10 years ago. That was the time I got to know IDO which is a large scale and well-known organization in Europe. I and other 2 tappers, Ken Kwok Wei Kit and Tan-ki, decided to participate in the IDO Tap competition during the year of 2012 for our 1st time as very matured applicants (30+ years). That was such a wonderful experience which I saw many great Tap dance numbers and met brilliant tappers from all over the world. This event gives an opportunity to tap lovers in all ages to get together, not only competing, but also sharing their love in tap dancing. I was so glad I had a chance to go back to Riesa as an IDO-adjudicator in 2017,
people in IDO & Riesa are always so nice and friendly no matter you are new or old to this competition. It was cold in December, but I felt so warmth with everybody’s kindness. I appreciated all the work from IDO committee who are devoted to this meaningful and professional event with a lot of effort. I would like to say “Thank you very much” to all of them!
