2023-2024 Dance Classes
Tap Classes (Ages 4 to Adult)
We offer a comprehensive tap program (beginner through advanced) that covers the wide range of tap styles, from vintage Broadway-style tap to the newest trends in rhythm tap.
Tap dance is about footwork, rhythm, and taking dance beyond the visual to the auditory. We teach dancers how to use their feet as percussive instruments to create sounds as they dance, and our tap classes stress the key elements of timing, rhythm, and musicality.
Our 2023-2024 dance year is divided into two sessions: Session 1 runs September 4, 2023 through January 20, 2024, and Session 2 runs February 5, 2024 through June 8, 2024.
