We offer the Pullars Dance Academy Tap syllabus and the students are examined yearly at Newcastle Dance Academy.
DurationTap dance is a style of dance which developed in the United States in the 19th century. Originally, tap dance appeared in black minstrel shows, but by the 1920s, it had become popular with both blacks and whites.
In tap dance, performers wear shoes which have been equipped with metal plates. As the dancer moves, the plates click against the dance floor, creating a characteristic tapping sound. Tappers can create a variety of percussive rhythms with their feet by tapping, sliding, and clicking the metal plates.
Tap dancing focuses on rhythm and musicality and has been seen on Broadway for many years.
Newcastle Dance Academy is owned by Tracy Caldwell and Roxanne McCourtie.
We purchased a small studio in 1996 with 10 weeks of the year to go, we rented church halls and continued to grow and move around locations until 1999 when we moved to the Hobart Road premises. The June 2007 floods, like many people, caused much devastation to the property.
We managed to battle on, but it was time for new premises. We purchased the Broadmeadow Glass and Aluminium building at the end of 2008 and in 2009 we opened the doors to the 5 studio purpose built complex that is now home to around 200 students.

Classes include rhythm and sound technique as students learn how to create musical sequences with their tap steps.
Street tap in the tradition of hoofing, focusing on dancing from the waist down. A knowledge of basic tap dance is required. Similar to the style danced by Tap Dogs. Wear tap shoes or tap boots and street clothes.
The dancer’s foot and shoe essentially act as a drum, and each part of the shoe makes a particular beat and sound. We train our dancers to be versatile and highly recommend tap classes.
Tap steps are taught from a basic level. Concentrating on Co-ordination and rhythm through music and fun.
Tap dance was created from a fusion of European and West African cultures evolving through many eras to the tap that we know today with metal plates screwed to the soles of the shoes to create the iconic “tap” noise.
