Beginner Tap

If you've always wanted to learn to tap dance, this class is for you! This one hour class is perfect for any true-beginner tap student ages 6+ (Have a little bit of tap experience? Check out our 2 hour class!) Students will build a strong foundation in tap dance through the exploration of beginning tap steps, rhythm, combinations and across the floor exercises. Throughout the class students will work on learning choreography for the exhibition performance. Grab your tap shoes and come join the fun!

This is a no prerequisite, guaranteed performance opportunity for students aged 6+.

Whether you are a returning student or new to the team, thank you for helping us to entertain, educate, and inspire!
