Tap classes have in the past been very small and not as well attended as the large Hip Hop classes. Tap was always my strength growing up and I really wish the kids will be encouraged to appreciate it and get excited about it.
DurationTap classes have in the past been very small and not as well attended as the large Hip Hop classes. I would love to encourage the kids to come and try a tap class or two this year and get excited about this classic dance style where we get to use our feet as instruments and create not just a wonderful Visual dance but also something that appeals to our Audio senses!

Before it was Gift of Dance, Ruley Bartie successfully ran Ruley school of Dance for several years in Durbanville in the Northern suburbs of Cape Town, South Africa.
Amanda Klotz (See the "Teachers" page of the website for Amanda's bio) moved to Cape Town from Canada in 2006 and began teaching for Ruley in 2007.
In 2010 when Ruley decided she was nearly ready to retire, Amanda gradually began to take over the dance school and it officially became “Gift of Dance” in 2011.
Everyone who chooses to embrace it has been blessed with "the Gift Of Dance"!
The goal of our dance studio is to tap into that GIFT and expose dancers at an early age to as many unique opportunities as possible to "enhance the dance" in each and every dancer. I believe the Gift has been given to share, and to be a blessing to others. I also believe that every single experience, from classes, to workshops, to performances, competitions etc… make a dancer better. So the more experiences they have the more opportunity to improve and grow, and learn.
We take part in Competitions and Exams and have performed regularly at various events and venues like Ratanga Junction, the Artscape Theatre, The Baxter Theatre, CTICC, Hillsong Church and many more! Dancers have achieved their WP and SA colours for Hip Hop on various occasions.
Gift of dance has 2 divisions. We have our competition division and then, everything else!
This includes – Technique classes, Eisteddfod choreography, Exam work, and concert choreography.
Classes in 2021 will be taught by Amanda, Shameelah, Caitlin and Jaime. We will also still see other members of the team from time to time as our schedule opens up to the schools and we can add in more classes. You'll surely be seeing Anzelle, Graham, Anri and Jaime around soon.
Tap Dance Lessons are offered by Dance Direction International for all ages and skill levels. We strive to balance technique and performance in our learners.
Tap Dance Lessons are offered by The Market Theatre Laboratory for all ages and abilities.
This class will focus on learning tap technique and terminology and putting them together in exciting combinations using high-energy music. Tap encourages the development of musicality and coordination.
“Combo” Modern & Tap classes are offered for our Juniors and these classes are later split into separate Modern and Tap classes. Assessments and Exams may be taken at the teacher’s discretion once the children have reached the required standard.
"Tap" is the sound which is made by the shoes striking the dancefloor.
