Tap is a great way to develop rhythm, agility, and co-ordination through intricate footwork. This class is excellent for developing a sense of rhythm and musicality – children have fun learning different rhythms and trying to re-create them with their feet!
Dancers will develop their skills in Tap through terminology, rhythm and timing to create a piece that is both entertaining and exciting.
Classes are focused on introducing dancers to different disciplines: Tap, Jazz, Ballet, and Baton. An Acro – Mini class can be added to compliment the dancer’s training. Students are grouped according to age, ability, and previous training.
Tap dance is a style of dance where metal plates are attached to the heel and toe of the shoe making sounds when the shoe strikes the floor. It is a very rhythmic style of dance where the dancer is like a percussion instrument.
