We teach styles from traditional Broadway to street styles. Classes commence with warm ups then progress to different rhythms and steps in the centre including travelling steps, turns, working with syncopation and different accents.
Students will learn about the greats in tap dance and learn about the history of this fabulous form or dance.
Classes are in age/ability groups. Also exam classes in tap may also be taken. We now include the amazing Tapatak Oz Syllabus in classes aswell. We LOVE our tap here at ATJ.

The studio originally started with a group of Adults learning to tap dance at the local hall in Wanneroo from 1988 – 1992 (Known as the Wanneroo Tappers). This was so popular that the studio was then opened in 1993 to cater for Children as young as 2yrs through to Adults.
The studio is actively involved in all local dance competitions. The studio provides open classes in all ages and dance styles and teaches the CSTD syllabus for examinations (Commonwealth Society of teachers of Dance). All That Jazz also offers floorshow performances throughout the year and has regular trips to Sydney to learn from Australia’s top Choreographers and teachers.
We offer Open Tap Technique classes from beginners through to advanced. Additional C.S.T.D (Commonwealth Society of Teachers of Dance) Tap medal exam preperation classes are on offer via private lessons.
Emphasising the development and strengthening importance of rhythm and sound, Tap is encouraged for students who do not learn a musical instrument With intricate footwork, requiring dexterity and concentration, the dancer's rhythmic patterns creates percussive sounds.
Some of our students started tap dancing as young as 70 years old, and have reaped the rewards improving balance, memory, fitness and as they put it “groove”. It’s never too late to start tap dancing.
Our Sapphire dancers take one 45 minute ballet lesson each week to continue their foundational technique, along with their choice of tap, jazz, and lyrical.
