There are different styles of tap (rhythm/jazz tap, Broadway tap, etc.), but all use the same steps to create a percussion sound with their shoes. In this class, students will learn many steps that will develop their musicality and rhythm while also building strength and flexibility in their ankles and knees. We offer Tap 1A, Tap 1B, Tap 2A, Tap 2B, & Tap 3. Each level is designed to challenge students to have clearer tap sounds with complete accuracy. Combinations will become more complex and tempo will increase to help develop the dancer’s coordination and speed of movement. Students must be in at least the Ballet 1 level to begin Tap training.
Tap 1A (approximate ages 6 and up, in Ballet 1 and up), Tap 1B (by placement), Tap 2A (by placement), Tap 2B (by placement), Tap 3 (by placement)
