Tap dancing takes its name from the small metal plates on the dancer's shoes which make a "tapping" sound when they strike a hard floor. Lively and rhythmic tapping makes the performer not just a dancer, but also a percussive musician, as Tap dancers make frequent use of syncopation.

Tap can have a funky street feel, like "Tap Dogs" or have that old school charm and style, like Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly. Tap combines elegance, grace, rhythm, originality and precision. It is dynamic, exhilarating and fun. A love of tap dance lasts a lifetime.

At JMDS we balance high standards with a friendly atmosphere which both pupils and parents enjoy. We hope to inspire and develop self-confidence, creativity and a passion for dance in every child that will last forever.
With two spacious, fully equipped air-conditioned studios in Manoora and Manunda in Cairns - North Queensland, we offer an exciting range of dance styles including ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary, tap and musical theatre.
The class consists of a warm up at the barre followed by corner and centre work, finishing with choreography utilising steps they have learned from the syllabus.
We offer the Pullars Dance Academy Tap syllabus and the students are examined yearly at Newcastle Dance Academy.
Tap dancing is a great way to hear the results of your movements! It is fun and fast, and is a great way to stay fit. Tap improves coordination, flexibility, concentration, creativity and rhythm while learning correct technique.
Tap Lessons are offered by Upstaged Dance & Performance Studio. Classes start from 4 year old kinder age.
Learn the styles ranging from Broadway style tap (think Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly) up to the tougher, more recent “Tap Dogs” and “Syncopated ladies” style!
