Tap
Tap is a dance, most commonly known for the use of special hard sole shoes that strike the floor as a form of percussion. In our tap classes students learn how to form a relationship between rhythms in music and the coordination of their feet. Our students will learn the terminology related to the tap dance industry such as, flaps, shuffles, and ball-changes which all develop into more intricate and advanced step combinations. We teach our tappers with Broadway and Rhythm Jazz musical styles, while also incorporating some new age music to attract all learning styles. Once enrolled, exams are available at the beginning of the preliminary level.
