Tap Classes

Tap Classes (ages 5-adult)

About the Tap Program:

Our tap dance program is heavily focused on developing the dancer's sense of rhythm and body percussion. Our lowest level of tap is combined with ballet, producing students that are diverse, well rounded, and technically sound. Tap students (as all of our dance students) will have the option to participate in our Spring Recital and annual Christmas Show to showcase their hard work and talent. Below are descriptions of our specific class levels:

They will learn the basics of barre (bar) work and center combinations, as well as across the floor movement all blended with fun imagination games and creativity. For the tap portion, students will focus on balance, isolating their foot movements, and learning basic tap steps such as shuffles and flaps.
