Course Details

Tap is a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Tap can be traced back to the 1700s and is informed by the Irish Jig, English Clog, and African-American traditional body percussion.

A major contributor to the art form is the West African Gioube, which is a dance brought in by enslaved Africans. Tap shoes are encouraged for this class to better practice producing the proper rhythms made by taps.

Tap dance is all about the rhythm. Dancers will use their feet like drumsticks to create rhythms and music as they dance. Beginners will learn the fundamental steps and basic movements, and intermediate and advanced dancers will transform these basics into complex rhythmic choreography
