Course Details

Tap is a form of dance characterized by using the sounds of tap shoes striking the floor as a form of percussion. It’s a strong rhythmical dance form that draws on music from many traditions. Tap dance puts an emphasis on the mastery of using the feet as a percussive instrument.

Films and stage show such as ’42nd Street’ and ‘Singing in the Rain’ bring the old-style tap to a new generation. New shows such as ‘Tap Dogs’ and ‘Stomp’ have updated this style making it a very popular class to take! 

At WADPA, we have beginner classes from the age of 4 and students can progress through their exams up to diploma level if they so wish.

Good understanding of beats, time signatures and rhythm are only a few things the students will be competent in when progressing through the grades.
