This class is for students who are brand new to tap. If you have never had a tap class before this class is for you! If you don’t have tap shoes we have a limited selection of loaner shoes; you can also wear any hard-soled shoe for your first class.
If possible those brand new to tap should start at the beginning of the session, but you can also drop in anytime and just follow along with what the class is doing. Those with some tap knowledge can drop in any time.
Glenwood Dance Studio is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization fostering a warm and welcoming community of dance based in the Glenwood Arts District in Rogers Park.
The studio was founded in 2013 by a group of adult dance students who wanted to have dance classes in their neighborhood. Day-to-day operations are handles by a core group of volunteers who are also students at the studio. Classes are taught by dance professionals who are paid a competitive wage.
If you are an adult seeking a place to take your very first dance class or are an adult who danced as child and are looking to rediscover your passion, Glenwood Dance Studio is the perfect place for you.
We offer a wide variety of classes to give our students a chance to learn about different types of movement. We make it a point to welcome any dancer at any level, and our teachers are adept at adjusting classes to highlight different talents among their students.
We are proud to offer the unique opportunity for our dancers and students to participate in small performances. Most dance studios have an internal company that is able to perform, but at Glenwood Dance Studio, all of our students have the opportunity to show off their hard work with quarterly performances.
Finally, Glenwood Dance Studio provides a space for performers of all kinds. Studio rental space is difficult to find in Rogers Park, so we are pleased to offer our space at reasonable rates.
If you have never tapped or are getting back into it, here’s where to start! Learn and practice the basics of tap vocabulary like shuffles, flaps, digs, timesteps in simple rhythm combinations, and “across the floor” traveling steps.
In addition to learning rhythm and musicality, Tap is a great cardiovascular exercise with the added benefits of working on your balance as you shift weight from one leg to another and one toe to heel or vice-versa.
Tap Dance Classes are offered by Contemporary Academy of Dance for all skill level. We provide our students with a safe, encouraging, and fun environment to learn a variety of dance styles.
Students hone a new sense of rhythm in this classic style, with levels from beginning to advanced. Tap shoes are required.Â
This course draw from both the Broadway and the contemporary Rhythm-Tap styles and begin with a foot isolating warm-up, followed by rhythm and step-based skill building in both the center of the room and moving across the floor.
