Tap

A Tap class provides students a fun and energetic environment to learn strong tap fundamentals and technique. Tap is a fantastic base for rhythm, timing and coordination - all skills that can be used in every dance form, as well as sports and other outside activities. Dancers that participate in this program are able to learn skills at a fairly rapid pace - quicker than in Ballet and Jazz, which are subjects strongly based on the placement of the entire body. This is the recommended class for students that are young, are beginners and/or have never studied dance before.
