Tap dance combines technique, musicality and rhythm and provides students with the ability to enhance their fine motor skills. Tap dancing is a thoroughly enjoyable style and again brings the old technique and style reminiscent of Fred Astaire together with the newer modern styles of tap.
It’s a fun, lively and entertaining style of dance. and is often seen on stage in broadway musical performances.
Tap students learn to have excellent timing and rhythm and the little ones love making lots of noise.
This class will provide students with an understanding of tap as part of the jazz vernacular, its history and hopefully show them the infectious joy tap can bring.
Tap dancing takes its name from the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes which make a "tapping" sound when they strike a hard floor. Lively and rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician, as Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation.
