Course Details

Tap dance is a form of dance characterised by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. Two major variations on tap dance exist: rhythm (jazz) tap and Broadway tap.

Broadway tap focuses more on the dance movement and it is widely performed in musical theatre. Rhythm tap focuses on musicality, and practitioners consider themselves to be a part of the Jazz tradition. Evolve Students are often nominated to go to the New Zealand National Dance Awards held annually by the NZAMD .

We have also had amazing feedback from our examiners each year on the high quality tapping we are demonstrating.

  • Teacher's Experience
  • I began dancing at the age of three with the Macdonald School of Dance. It soon became very clear dancing was my passion so I picked up several dance forms including Ballet, Jazz, Hip Hop, Tap and Contemporary. By the age of 15 I began my teaching journey as an assistant teacher. I went on to gain four solo diploma certificates through the NZAMD syllabus and was nominated for the national competitions. In 2011 I auditioned successfully for “The Space” in Melbourne where I pursued my dance training and was soon a teaching staff member. On my return to New Zealand I continued teaching at The Macdonald School of Dance and at the beginning of 2015 I embarked on my biggest journey yet and opened Evolve Performing Arts Centre. Since then I have been blessed with amazing support from our Evolve community and have created a space where children come to let their passion fly. With almost 11 years of teaching experience I have now sat my teachers examination and gained my teaching certificate with the NZAMD. I am so grateful to go to work and do what I love everyday while being surrounded by our incredible Evolve community.
