It’s little surprise that Caleb Teicher, the ever-rising tap choreographer, loves sound. He doesn’t want the viewer — you — to turn the title of one of his dances into a word, but rather to sound it out: “Bzzz.” (Get carried away with the z’s.)

“It’s hilarious at production meetings,” Mr. Teicher said. “Suddenly, we’re all making the ‘bzzz’ sound.”

The dance, part of Caleb Teicher & Company’s performance at Lincoln Center Out of Doors on Aug. 2, is a collaboration with the beatboxer Chris Celiz, who performs onstage with seven dancers. “His voice — the different colors he can bring out, the different expressive capacities and the expanse of what he’s capable of doing really interests me,” Mr. Teicher said. “Tap dance is a relatively limited instrument tonally. The goal of tap dance is to expand and do as many things as you can with a pretty specific instrument.”

Mr. Celiz, essentially a vocal percussionist, is doing the same with his voice: “There’s also a lot of similarities in the way that beatboxers play,” Mr. Teicher said. “They play externally with rhythm and with timing and with pattern, and they also play internally — they explore things that only other beatboxers understand.”
