Our Mini Tap classes are stand alone classes that are based off the LGTDA (Les Griffith Tap Dancing Association) Syllabus which we teach throughout our studio. Whilst these classes are based on the student’s age, our qualified teachers are able to adapt lessons to meet all students skills and technical abilities and progression as well as challenging students with its intricate rhythms and combinations.
During the year, all tap students will learn age-appropriate LGTDA Syllabus exam work, to which they have the option to participate in 2 examinations per year, one at the end of Term 2 and one at the end of Term 4.
This may however require private lessons to ensure the student is prepared to which your class teacher can advise on this. Tap students will learn 2 tap routines to perform at our end of year concerts

Classes focus on rhythm, timing, percussion and coordination through the Australian Teachers of Dancing (ATOD) syllabus.
Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats, incorporating smooth arm movements to pull it all together. Working with the CSTD syllabus, students will learn the basic technique and theory of tap while gaining a better understanding of music and rhythm.
Designed for school age students and above, tap dance develops student’s sense of rhythm and musicality as well as being great fun. Starting at a beginner level this is an exciting new challenge for any child.
